Answer:

2(C)

Explanation:

You can use the slope formula to answer this which is y₁ - y₂ divided by x₁ - x₂. Let's say that (x₁, y₁) is (6,6) and the (x₂, y₂) is (1, -4). We can then substitute these values into the formula.

This would become 6- (-4) divided by 6-1.

This can be further simplified as shown:

=6+4 divided by 5

=10/5

=2

Therefore, 2 is the slope of the line
