What is the slope of a line with the x-intercept as -2 and y-intercept of 6?

  1. 4

  2. 5

  3. 6

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 4

The slope of a line is defined as the change in the y-direction divided by the change in the x-direction. This refers to the steepness or slant of the line. To calculate the slope, we need two points on the line. In this case, the intercepts (-2,0) and (0,6) can be used to find the slope using the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Solving this, we get (6 - 0) / (0 - (-2)) = 6/2 = 3. So, the slope of this line is 3, which is equivalent to option A. Option B is incorrect because the slope cannot be greater than the y-intercept, which is 6 in this case. Similarly, option C is incorrect as the slope cannot be equal to the y
