Formula for the slope of a line going through \((x_2,y_2)\) and \((x_1,y_1)\) is \[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

@whpalmer4

OpenStudy (reemii):

-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@reemii -6 is the answer

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Yes, -6 is correct. Going from (2,10) to (3,4) is going over 1 to the right and down 6, so a slope of -6.
