Find the slope. (4, 10) and (-2,-5)​

Slope in fraction form = 5/2

Slope in decimal form = 2.5

Work Shown:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-5-10)/(-2-4)

m = (-15)/(-6)

m = (-3*5)/(-3*2)

m = 5/2 slope in fraction form

m = 2.5 slope in decimal form

Explanation:

The first step is the slope formula where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through.

I used (x1,y1) = (4,10) and (x2,y2) = (-2,-5)

The slope formula basically says "subtract the y values, then subtract the x values in the same order. Then divide the two differences".

Or you can think of it as

slope = rise/run

rise = y2-y1 = change in y

run = x2-x1 = change in x
