Answer:

-6.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is more included in this problem then -6.61 is the slope. Slope is represented as m in y=mx+b. Simply substituting in the slop and y-intercept shows that m=-6.61 or the slope is -6.61.

A deductible is the amount you pay for a service before the plan shares the cost of the service with you. A copay is a set amount you pay for the service. Coinsurance is when you pay a percentage of the cost for an item or service.
