MN weird start up

well this just started happening where I'm at a stop light and I start to take off I have to rev the engine about to 6k rpm just to get it moving it. I think the clutch is starting to slip but I wanna make sure before I buy a clutch. The car has trouble even getting to redline after I go thur most of the gears it feels like that car doesn't wanna go either way the car is out of warranty it has 79k miles new battery yesterday new sparkplugs and coils and alternator 3 months ago.

thanks

rev to 6000 is when clutch is fully engaged?
what if you on the interstate in 6th and press gas all the way down does the rpm go up but the speed does not change?
79k is still eligible for a new engine tho.
