Solution:

Points (4,6) and (-2,-3)


\begin{gathered} \text{let x}_1\text{ = 4} \\ x_{2\text{ }}=\text{ -2} \\ y_1\text{ = 6} \\ y_{2\text{ }}\text{ = -3} \\ \\ m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ m\text{ = }(-3-6)/(-2-4) \\ \\ m\text{ = }(-9)/(-6) \\ \\ m\text{ = 1.5} \end{gathered}

The slope of the line is 1.5
