Take two points

  • (0,2)
  • (-2,-2)

slope:-


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow m=(-2-2)/(-2)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow m=(-4)/(-2)


\\ \boxed{\mathfrak{\Rrightarrow m=2}}

Take two points on the line:

  • (x1,y1) = (2,6)
  • (x2,y2) = (-4,-6)


\boxed{ \sf \: m = ( y_(2) - y_(1))/( x_(2) - x_(1) ) }


\tt \: m = ( - 6 - 6)/( - 4 - 2)


\tt \: m = ( - 12)/( - 6)


\mathcal{ M = 2}

Thus, The slope of the line is 2...~
