(5, 10) .

Answer 1

To find the slope between the two points \((-6, 2)\) and \((5, 10)\), we can use the slope formula:

\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Let \((x_1, y_1) = (-6, 2)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (5, 10)\).

Now plug in the values:

\[ m = \frac{10 - 2}{5 - (-6)} \]

Calculate the numerator and denominator:

\[ m = \frac{8}{5 + 6} = \frac{8}{11} \]

Therefore, the slope between the points \((-6, 2)\) and \((5, 10)\) is

\[ \frac{8}{11}. \]
