Answer: The required slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope of a line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0).

We know that

the slope of a straight line that passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by


m=(d-b)/(c-a).

Therefore, the slope of the given line is


m=(0-6)/(6-0)=(-6)/(6)=-1.

Thus, the required slope of the line is -1.
