Answer:

m = - 1. (Slope)

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you will need to use the slope formula:
m = (y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))

Plug in the 'x' and 'y' value of each coordinate into the equation:


m = (0-6)/(2-(-4))

Simplify this:


m = (-6)/(6)

m = -1.

Therefore, the slope of the line is m = -1.
