Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 6) and (10, 2).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Using the points (1, 6) and (10, 2):
slope = (2 - 6) / (10 - 1)
= -4 / 9
