slope m is found by
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-3 - 4) / (6 - 2)
m = -7/4

Find the slope of the line through the given points.
(X1,Y1)=(2,4)and (X2,Y2)=(6,-3)
SLOPE =(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)=(-3-4)/(6-2)=-7/4

The slope of a line measures the steepness of the line.
Slope Formula Given Two Points
Given two points(x1,Y1) and (x2,y2)
=
here given (x1,y1)=(2,4)
(x2,y2)=(6,-3)
