Answer:

2

Explanation:

if you're looking at the table and you heard of rise/run, your rise is -10 if you go down from (6,6) and -5 if you go left to reach (1,-4). That will give you -10/-5 which gives you a positive 2. it would be the same if you went up 10 from (1,-4) and then 5 right to reach (6,6).

Answer:

2

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you must get two points off the line

Two points will be: (6, 6) and (1, -4)

Then use the Slope-Formula to solve for the slope of the line

m = slope
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = -4-6/1-6
m = -10/-5
m = 10/5
m = 2

The Slope of the line is 2
