Answer:

the slope of the line is 2

Explanation:

In order to find out the slope, we use the formula (y - y) / ( x - x).

First, we take the two y values (-6 and 2) and substitute those into the formula. Now we have ( -6 - 2) / (x - x).

Then, we take the two x values (-2 and 2) and substitute those into the formula. Now we have (-6 - 2) / (-2 - 2)

Finally we solve the equation: (-8) / (-4); 8/4; 2

The slope is 2.
