Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\[/tex]

where

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

From the question the points are

(3, –2) and (–1, –6)

We have

[tex]m = \frac{ - 6 - - 2}{ - 1 - 3} = \frac{ - 6 + 2}{ - 4} = \frac{ -4 }{ - 4} = 1 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

1

Hope this helps you
