1. **State the problem:** Find the slope $m$ of Line 1 passing through points $(-9, 99)$ and $(6, -51)$.
2. **Formula for slope:** The slope $m$ between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
3. **Calculate slope of Line 1:**
$$m = \frac{-51 - 99}{6 - (-9)} = \frac{-51 - 99}{6 + 9} = \frac{-150}{15}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$m = \frac{\cancel{-150}}{\cancel{15}} = -10$$
5. **Answer for Line 1:** The slope $m$ of Line 1 is $-10$.
6. **State the problem:** Find the slope $m$ of Line 2 passing through points $(0, 10)$ and $(-30, 7)$.
7. **Calculate slope of Line 2:**
$$m = \frac{7 - 10}{-30 - 0} = \frac{-3}{-30}$$
8. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$m = \frac{\cancel{-3}}{\cancel{-30}} = \frac{1}{10}$$
9. **Answer for Line 2:** The slope $m$ of Line 2 is $\frac{1}{10}$.
**Final answers:**
- Slope of Line 1: $-10$
- Slope of Line 2: $\frac{1}{10}$
