Answer:

-11/6

Explanation:


(15-4)/(4-10)

15 - 4 = 11

4 - 10 = -6

11/-6 = -11/6

Don't make the fraction a mixed number when it comes with slope. Keep it as an improper fraction.

Answer:

Slope is -(11 / 6)

Explanation:

Since, given points are:

(x1,y1)= (10, 4)

(x2,y2)= (4, 15)

Now, by using slope formula:

Slope= y2-y1/ x2-x1

Simplifying to get the slope of the two given points

Slope= 15-4 / 4-10

Slope= 11 / -6

Therefore, the required Slope is -(11 / 6)
