Solution:

Given the points;


(3,-6),(2,-2)

The slope m, between pair of points is given as;


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) \\ m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \end{gathered}

Thus, the slope of the given pair is;


\begin{gathered} m=(-2-(-6))/(2-3) \\ m=(-2+6)/(-1) \\ m=(4)/(-1) \\ m=-4 \end{gathered}

FINAL ANSWER: The slope of the line between the pair of points is -4
