Answer:

2.4 or 12/5

Explanation:

The slope formula is (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1).

First, you label each number by their x and y.

-4 will be axis x 1

2 will be axis y 1

-9 will be axis x 2

-10 will be axis y 2.

Then substitute the variable into the formula.

(-10 subtract 2) divided by (-9-(-4)).

Next, solve. Once you solve you will get -12/-5 = 2.4

Finally, simplify the answer. if it is already simplify, that will be the answer.
