Question 153615


{{{m=(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}} Start with the slope formula.



{{{m=(6--4)/(-2-10)}}} Plug in {{{y[2]=6}}}, {{{y[1]=-4}}}, {{{x[2]=-2}}}, {{{x[1]=10}}}, , 



{{{m=(10)/(-2-10)}}} Subtract {{{-4}}} from {{{6}}} to get {{{10}}}



{{{m=(10)/(-12)}}} Subtract {{{10}}} from {{{-2}}} to get {{{-12}}}



{{{m=-5/6}}} Reduce



So the slope of the line that goes through the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(10,-4\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(-2,6\right)] is {{{m=-5/6}}}
