• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-1, 10)

Point (5, 2)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(2-10)/(5+1)`
2. Subtract/Add:
   `m=(-8)/(6)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(-4)/(3)`
