(6,-4)and(4,-2)
I will need this by this evening if possible. I need to submit a similar one as this by tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (6, -4) and (4, -2)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+%28y%5B1%5D%29%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28-2+-+%28-4%29%29%2F%284+-+6%29


m+=+%28-2+%2B+4%29%2F%284+-+6%29


m+=+%282%29%2F%28-2%29


m+=+-1



Answer: Slope is m+=+-1




Since the slope is negative, the line falls as it moves from left to right.

To see this, plot the points and draw a line through them



So we can see that the line is falling.
