Answer:

a) Negative slope

m=-\frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the given line is shown in the attachment.

We can see from the grap that, the line is sloping backwards.

Therefore the line has a negative slope.

The given points are (-1,-3) and (7,-8).

We use the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} to find the slope of this line.

\implies m=\frac{-8--3}{7--1}

\implies m=\frac{-8+3}{7+1}

\implies m=-\frac{5}{8}

We can confirm from the result of our calculation that the slope is actually negative.
