what is the slope of two points going through (-10,-4) and (-1,2)??

======================================================

"Slope" is defined as "the change in y"  divided by "the change in x"

Look at our two points......notice that y changes by 6 - (-4 to 2) - from the first point to the second.

And x changes by 9 - (-10 to -1) -  from the first point to the second.

So, our slope is just   6/9  or 2/3  !!!

And that's it!!
