Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.
[tex]m = \frac{change \: in \: y}{change \: in \: x} [/tex]
The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates, and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates.
[tex]m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.
[tex]m = \frac{9 - (8)}{10 - (6)} [/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]m = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Therefor, the slope is 1/4.
