Slope of the line through the points (-6, 3) and (4, 5)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%285+-+3%29%2F%284+-+%28-6%29%29


m+=+%285+-+3%29%2F%284+%2B+6%29


m+=+%282%29%2F%2810%29


m+=+1%2F5



Answer: Slope is m+=+1%2F5
