Answer:
[tex]- \frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope form:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
m = slope
Let:
[tex](x_1 , y_1) = (-2 , -8)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (-6 , -3)[/tex]
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables, and solve:
[tex]m = \frac{-3 - (-8)}{-6 - (-2)} = \frac{-3 + 8}{-6 + 2} = \frac{5}{-4} = -\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
[tex]- \frac{5}{4}[/tex] is your answer.
