Solution

The slope of a line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Here, the two points are (3, 6) and (4, 2). So, x1 = 3, y1 = 6, x2 = 4, and y2 = 2.

Substitute these values into the formula:

m = (2 - 6) / (4 - 3) m = (-4) / 1 m = -4

So, the slope of the line through the points (3, 6) and (4, 2) is -4. Therefore, the answer is a. -4.
