Answer:

slope = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Given points: (2, 0), (6, -12)

(2, 0) = (x1, y1)

(6, -12) = (x2, y2)

To find the slope, input the two given points into the formula used to find slope:

[tex]\frac{-12-0}{6-2}[/tex]

Simplify:

-12 - 0 = -12

6 - 2 = 4

[tex]\frac{-12}{4} = -\frac{3}{1}=-3[/tex]

The slope of the line is -3.

Hope this helps :)
