m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%2810-5%29%2F%284-3%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=10, y%5B1%5D=5, x%5B2%5D=4, and x%5B1%5D=3


m=%285%29%2F%284-3%29 Subtract 5 from 10 to get 5


m=%285%29%2F%281%29 Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1


m=5 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=5
