To find the slope of the line given two points, you can use the formula for the slope \( m \):
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
Given the coordinates \((-6, 2)\) and \((-4, 6)\), we can assign the points as follows:
- \((x_1, y_1) = (-6, 2)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (-4, 6)\)
Now, substitute these values into the slope formula:
\[ m = \frac{6 - 2}{-4 - (-6)} \]
Calculate the numerator:
\[ 6 - 2 = 4 \]
Calculate the denominator:
\[ -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2 \]
Now substitute these results back into the slope formula:
\[ m = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \]
Thus, the slope of the line is \( \boxed{2} \).
