Slope = (-1-(-4))/(-6-(-2))=3/(-4)=-3/4=−1−(−4)−6−(−2)=3−4=−34

Explanation:

Let P_2(x_2, y_2)=(-6, -1)P2(x2,y2)=(−6,−1)
Let P_1(x_1, y_1)=(-2, -4)P1(x1,y1)=(−2,−4)

Slope m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-1-(-4))/(-6-(-2))=3/(-4)=-3/4m=y2−y1x2−x1=−1−(−4)−6−(−2)=3−4=−34

God bless.. I hope the explanation is useful.
