HELP ASAP What is the slope of the line on the graph?

Answer 1

The slope of this line is -1/6.  

2 Point:     (6,2)         (-6,6)
                   x₁ y₁         x₂ y₂
       

Remember: 
  
    rise          change in y          y₂ - y₁          6 - 2            4
 ---------- =  ------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = ----------
    run            change in x         x₂ - x₁         -6 - 6          -12


Simplify 4/-12

     4 ÷ 4             1
  -------      = ------------- = -1/3
   -12 ÷ 4          -3

The slope of the line is -1/3.
