Find the ratio of y to x by finding the change in y and dividing by the change in x

Explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2}}{x_{1} - x_{2}}$ $( y_1- y_2)/(x_1-x_2)$

Put the values for x and y from the points into the equation

Slope (m) = $\frac{8 - 10}{4 - 6}$ $( 8 -10)/ (4-6)$ Subtracting results in

Slope (m) = $\frac{- 2}{- 2}$ $(-2)/(-2)$ Which gives

Slope (m) = 1
