• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-1, 10)

Point (5, 2)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{2-10}{5+1}$
2. Subtract/Add:                      $m=\frac{-8}{6}$
3. Simplify:                               $m=\frac{-4}{3}$
