$m = \frac{5}{3}$ $m=5/3$

Explanation:

Given -

$x_{1} = - 2$ $x_1=-2$
$y_{1} = 1$ $y_1=1$
$x_{2} = 4$ $x_2=4$
$y_{2} = 11$ $y_2=11$

Slope $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{11 - 1}{4 - (- 2)} = \frac{10}{4 + 2} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(11-1)/(4-(-2))=10/(4+2)=10/6=5/3$

$m = \frac{5}{3}$ $m=5/3$
