$- \frac{2}{3}$ $-2/3$

Explanation:

The slope equals change in y divided by change in x. The change in y is 4-10, or -6, and the change in x is 3 - (-6), or 9. $- \frac{6}{9}$ $-6/9$ can be reduced to $- \frac{2}{3}$ $-2/3$ .

$slope = - \frac{2}{3}$ $"slope "=-2/3$

Explanation:

$to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula$ $"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"$

$∙ x m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (3, 4) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 6, 10)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-6,10)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{10 - 4}{- 6 - 3} = \frac{6}{- 9} = - \frac{2}{3}$ $rArrm=(10-4)/(-6-3)=6/(-9)=-2/3$
