**Question 1 of 14, Step 1 of 1**

**Task:**  
Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points:

\((6, -12)\) and \((10, 16)\)

**Prompt for Answer:**  
\[ m = \]

---

To find the slope (\(m\)) of a line between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), use the formula:

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

Apply this formula to the given points:

\[ m = \frac{16 - (-12)}{10 - 6} = \frac{28}{4} = 7 \]

Thus, the slope of the line is \( m = 7 \).
