\boxed{\huge\boxed{\mathsf{Formula: m = (y_2- y_1)/(x_2- x_1)}}}


\boxed{\huge\boxed{\mathsf{m = (14 -10)/(-18 - (-12))}}}\\\\\\\huge\textsf{14 - 10 = \bf \boxed{\bf 4}}\\\\\\\huge\textsf{-18 - (-12)}\\\huge\textsf{= -18 + 12}\\\huge\textsf{= \bf -6}\\\\\boxed{\huge\boxed{\mathsf{m = (4)/(-6)}}}


\boxed{\huge{\boxed{\mathsf{m = (4/2)/(-6/2)}}}}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{4/2 = \bf 2}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{-6/2 = \bf -3}}\\\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\boxed{\mathsf{\star m = \bf (2)/(-3)\star}}}}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge \boxed{\mathsf{Answer: }\frak{(2)/(-3)}}}}\huge\checkmark
