Answer:

Slope = -13

Explanations:

The slope of a line passing through two points with coordinates (x₁ , y₁ ) and (x₂ y₂) is calculated using the formula:


\text{Slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Since the points are (6, 6) and (7, -7):

x₁ = 6, y₁ = 6, x₂ = 7, y₂ = -7

Substituting these into the formula:


\begin{gathered} \text{Slope = }(-7-6)/(7-6) \\ \text{Slope = }(-13)/(1) \\ \text{Slope = -13} \end{gathered}
