Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through (0, 6) and (6, 0)?

Answer 1

Answer:  The required slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the slope of a line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0).

We know that

the slope of a straight line that passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.$

Therefore, the slope of the given line is

$m=\dfrac{0-6}{6-0}=\dfrac{-6}{6}=-1.$

Thus, the required slope of the line is -1.

Answer 2

The slope of the line is -1
