The slope is $1$ $1$ .

Explanation:

The slope $m$ $m$ of a line through two points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by dividing the change in $y$ $y$ by the change in $x$ $x$ as described by the formula:

$m = (Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

In our example, $(x_1, y_1) = (-6, -15)$ and $(x_2, y_2) = (4, -5)$ , giving us:

$m = (-5-(-15))/(4-(-6)) = 10/10 = 1$
