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!!!!!!

What passes through the points (-1/2 4) and (1/2 6). show your work

Maslowich

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line which passes through these points is determined by:

p(x1,y1)=(-1/2,4) p(x2,y2)=(1/2,6)

$\frac{y - y1}{y2 - y1} = \frac{x - x1}{x2 - x1} \\ \frac{y - 4}{6 - 4} = \frac{x + \frac{ 1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} } \\ \frac{y - 4}{2} = \frac{2x + 1}{2} \\ 2(2x + 1) = 2(y - 4) \\ 4x + 2 = 2y - 8 \\ 4x - 2y + 2 + 8 = 0 \\ 4x - 2y + 10 = 0$

Note:if you need to ask any question please let me know.
