The slope would be -7.

We are given the two points (0,-6) and (-2,8). We can use the formula of y-y/x-x to find the slope.

Our two y-values are -6 and 8. We can subtract those in the order of right to left:

8 - (-6) = 14

We can do the same for our x-values, -2 and 0:

-2 - 0 = -2

Our new fraction would be 14/-2. This is not arranged properly, and it can be divided. 14 / (-2) = -7. Therefore, our slope is -7.
