• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-4, 2)

Point (6, 6)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                              $\displaystyle m = \frac{6-2}{6--4}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                           $\displaystyle m = \frac{4}{10}$
3. [Fraction] Simplify:                                                                                            $\displaystyle m = \frac{2}{5}$
