Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = Rise/Run

Between -4 and 8, the line runs 12 units. Between -3 and -9, the line rises -9 units.

-9/12 = -3/4

Write an equation (-2, 10), (10, -14)

Brilliant_brown [7]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-14}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-14}-\stackrel{y1}{10}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{10}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-24}{10+2}\implies \cfrac{-24}{12}\implies -2$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{10}=\stackrel{m}{-2}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}]\implies y-10=-2(x+2) \\\\\\ y-10=-2x-4\implies y=-2x+6$
