Question 1057717: Hello. I'm a 10th grade student and need help with my math homework. I just don't understand or know where to even begin to start yo answer it. The problem is that I need to find the slope of the line that passes through (0,2) and (6,10). Please help. Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope is the change of y over the change in x. You can go in either direction, but you have to be consistent with both the y and the x
from (0,2) to (6,10), the change in y is 10-2=8. The change in x is 6-0=6
The slope is 8/6=4/3.
If you go the other way, the change in y is 2-10=-8. The change in x is 0-6=-6
The slope is -8/-6=4/3.
