$\textsf{Let's calculate the slope of the line passing thought the points (-4, 4) and (-6, 6) } \\ \textsf{using the following formula: }\mathsf{m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}} \textsf{ where m is the slope of the line.}$ $\textsf{So:}$

$\mathsf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{4 - 6}{-4 - (-6)} = \dfrac{-2}{2} = -1}$

$\textsf{Hence the slope is -1.}$
