Slope#=m=3#

Use the slope formula:

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

Given #(2,4)# and #(4,10)#

Let

#(color(red)(2),color(blue)(4))->(color(red)(x_1),color(blue)(y_1))#

#(color(red)(4),color(blue)10)->(color(red)(x_2),color(blue)(y_2))#

Substituting in for the slope formula...

#m=color(blue)(10-4)/color(red)(4-2)=color(blue)6/color(red)(2)=3#
