Slope $m = 7$ $m=7$

Given -

$x_{1} = 3$ $x_1=3$
$y_{1} = 15$ $y_1=15$
$x_{2} = 0$ $x_2=0$
$y_{2} = - 6$ $y_2=-6$

Slope $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{- 6 - 15}{0 - 3} = \frac{- 21}{- 3} = 7$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-6-15)/(0-3)=(-21)/(-3)=7$

slope $m = 7$ $m=7$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (3,15) ; (0, -6) (3,15);(0,−6) (3,15) ; (0, -6) ?
