$m = (-2)/-2$

The slope is $m = 1$

The formula for the slope of a line based upon two coordinate points is

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

For the coordinate points $(2,6) and (0,4)$
$x_1 = 2$
$x_2 = 0$
$y_1 = 6$
$y_2 = 4$

$m = (0-2)/(4-6)$

$m = (-2)/-2$

The slope is $m = 1$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2,6) ; (0,4) (2,6) ; (0,4)?
