$m=1/2$

Refer to the explanation for the process.

The slope formula from two points is:

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

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the two points. Let $x_1=-6, and y_1=-4$ ; and $x_2=4, and$ y_2=1#.

Substitute the known values into the slope equation.

$m=(1-(-4))/(4-(-6))$

$m=(1+4)/(4+6)$

$m=5/10$

$m=1/2$
