Answer

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

To find slope, we use the slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ We plug in the values for $x$ and $y$: $m=\frac{0-6}{1-(-3)}$ We simplify the expression using the order of operations: First, we simplify above and below the fraction bar by subtracting: $m=\frac{-6}{4}$ Then, we simplify the fraction by dividing by $\frac{2}{2}$: $m=-\frac{3}{2}$
