Step 1.2.1.1.1

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$y = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (3)) - 10$

Step 1.2.1.1.2

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot 3) - 10$

Step 1.2.1.1.3

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 3 - 10$

Step 1.2.1.2

Subtract $10$ from $3$ .

$y = - 7$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $0$ .

$m = 0$
