Subtract the first y-variable from the second y-variable and divide that by the first x-variable subtracted from the second x-variable.

$\frac{- 2 - - 6}{10 - 2} = \frac{- 2 + 6}{10 - 2} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$ $(-2--6)/(10-2)=(-2+6)/(10-2)=4/8=1/2$

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ .

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2, -6), (10,-2)(2,−6),(10,−2) (2, -6), (10,-2)?
