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

Explanation:

Slope = # ( y_1- y_2)/(x_1-x_2)#

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

Slope (m) = # ( 8 -10)/ (4-6) # Subtracting results in

Slope (m) = #(-2)/(-2)# Which gives

Slope (m) = 1
