Slope = $13$ $13$

Explanation:

The slope is given by

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ , where $m$ $m$ is the slope, and $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ are two coordinates.

Let $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ be $(6, 8)$ $(6,8)$ ,

$(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ be $(5, - 5)$ $(5,-5)$

So, the slope that passes through $(6, 8)$ $(6,8)$ and $(5, - 5)$ $(5,-5)$ is

$m = \frac{- 5 - 8}{5 - 6} = \frac{- 13}{- 1} = 13$ $m=(-5-8)/(5-6)=(-13)/-1=13$
