Answer:
d. -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, use the following equation
slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
First, set each coordinate. Let:
(x₁ , y₁) = (-6 , 8)
(x₂ , y₂) = (2 , 3)
Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (3 - 8)/(2 - (-6))
Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.
m = (3 - 8)/(2 + 6)
m = -5/8
d. -5/8 is your answer
