Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use rise/run. The rise (y values) goes from 5 to -3. You subtract 8 for this. The run (x values) goes from 2 to 8. You add 6 for this. the proportion is -8/6, which can be simplified to -4/3.

Therefore, the slope is -4/3!

Hope I helped!!!!!!

Here is a graph. When you use a graphing calculator, it isn't always necessary to solve for y.

Note different colors are used for the different problems. Problem 2 has a dashed line, as described by "Remember, ...".
