$\frac{- 3}{5}$ $(-3)/5$

Explanation:

we know,
$m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2}}{x_{1} - x_{2}}$ $m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)$
$x_{1} = - 5, x_{2} = 10, y_{1} = 3, y_{2} = - 6$ $x_1=-5, x_2=10, y_1=3,y_2=-6$
so,
$m = \frac{3 - (- 6)}{- 5 - 10}$ $m=(3-(-6))/(-5-10)$
$= \frac{3 + 6}{- 15}$ $=(3+6)/(-15)$
$= \frac{- 9}{15}$ $=(-9)/15$
$\frac{- 3}{5}$ $(-3)/5$
