$color(brown)(m = -(2/3)$

Slope of a line is found using the following formula

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

Given : $(x_1, y_1) = (10, -2), (x_2, y_2 ) = (1, 4)$

$:. m = (4 +2) / (1-10) = 6/-9$

$color(brown)(m = -(2/3)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (10,-2) , (1, 4)(10,-2) , (1, 4)?
