Answer:

The slope of the line is;

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;
