let's firstly change the 1.2 to a fraction


1.\underline{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{1\underline{0}}\implies \cfrac{6}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{(6)/(5)}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{(6)/(5)}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{10}}}\implies \cfrac{~~ (6-30)/(5)~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ (-24)/(5)~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ -(24)/(5)~~}{-(6)/(1)}


-\cfrac{\stackrel{4}{~~\begin{matrix} 24 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{5}\cdot -\cfrac{1}{\underset{1}{~~\begin{matrix} 6 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{4}{5}}
