Answer:

-3

Explanation:

Slope = rise over run

or

Slope = (x2-x1)/(y2-y1)

We'll use the second version. Choose any 2 points on the line. We'll choose (6, 2) and (-6, 6).

Then choose which x-coordinate is x2. and the corresponding y-coordinate is y2. x2=6, so y2 = 2. Then the other two are your 1's. x1=-6, y1 = 6.

plug in the numbers to get a solution.

(6-(-6))/2-6

subtracting a negative makes it addition, so...

(6+6)/-4

12/-4

Slope = -3

Answer:

the slope is -1/3

Explanation:

point 1 = (0,4)

point 2 = (6,2)

m= y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 2 - 4/ 6- 0

m = -2/6

m = -1/3
