Slope Parameter for Horizontal Support Alignment

A structural engineer is using a coordinate grid to define the path of a horizontal support beam that must pass through the point (−2,−6)(-2, -6). To find the equation of this beam's path using the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), what numerical value must the engineer substitute for the slope mm?
