The slope equation is given by:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_(_2)-x_1)

To get the slope of the graph, we will pick two points along the line:

Let's pick the first point at (x, y) = (-6, 6)

Let's pick the second point at (x, y) = (0, -2)

We plug this into the slope equation, we have:


\begin{gathered} m=(-2-6)/(0--6)=-(8)/(6) \\ m=-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

The slope (m) = -4/3
