Answer:

Slope is -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

y1 and y2 are at the end of the parenthesis so y1 is 5 and y2 is -1.

x1 and x2 are at the beginning of the parenthesis so x1 is -3 and x2 is 6.

Then you put it into the formula:

-1-5/6-(-3)

This then equals -2/3.

-2/3 is the answer.
