Please Help Thanks What is the slope of a line if y=-x? Choices are 0, -1, 1 or undefined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if you look at a graph of y = -x the line will be going down one/over one. If you try solving this equation a few times you will find that the x is just the negative of y. 6=-x, so y =6, x = -6 and so on. If you graph this the slow will be rise/run (-1/1) or a slope of -1. Make sense?

My mistake, in this it should be reversed. x = 6 , and y = -6. The slope is the same but I did a typo. Sorry!
