Answer:

The slope of the line is;


3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the slope of the line passing through the points;


(4,4)\text{ and (6,10)}

Recall that the slope m of a line can be calculated using the formula;


m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

substituting the given coordinates;


\begin{gathered} m=(10-4)/(6-4) \\ m=(6)/(2) \\ m=3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope of the line is;
