Answer:

The answer is 1

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula


m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question we have


m = ( - 3 - - 12)/(15 - 6) = ( - 3 + 12)/(9) = (9)/(9) = 1 \\

We have the final answer as

1

Hope this helps you
