The slope of the line is #15/8#.

Explanation:

The formula we are using is #m=(y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1")#
=> where #m# is the slope, #y# is the y-component of a point, #x# is the x-component.

#m=(y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1")#

#=(-6-9)/(-2-6)#

#=(-15)/(-8)#

#=15/8#

The slope of the line is #15/8#.

Hope this helps :)
