The slope is the change in y/change in x.

In this case, it would be
(6-4)/(-2-0)=2/-2=-1.

The slope is -1.

Hope this helps!

Slope formula: [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

First, you would need to plug the coordinates into the slope formula.
[tex] \frac{4 - 6}{0 - (-2)} [/tex]

Now, all you would need to do is solve and simplify it. 
[tex] \frac{4 - 6}{0 - (-2)} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{-2}{2} [/tex] = -1

The slope would be -1. 

I hope this helps!
