ANSWER:

3

Explanation:

We have that the formula to determine the slope is the following:


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

To calculate the slope, in this case, we select the external points (-1, -6) and (3, 6) we substitute:


\begin{gathered} m=(-6-6)/(\:-1-3)=(-12)/(-4) \\ \\ m=3 \end{gathered}

The slope of the function is 3
