Answer 1

The slope formula is givenb by:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

To get the slope from the graph, we will pick out two points lying on the line:

Point 1: (x, y) = (-6, 10)

Point 2: (x, y) = (0, -8)

We will then proceed to use these points to calculate the slope, we have:

`\begin{gathered} m=(-8-10)/(0--6)=-(18)/(6) \\ m=-3 \end{gathered}`

The slope (m) = -3
