Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of two points
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (-4-2)/(1--8)
= (-4-2)/(1+8)
= -6/9
-2/3
Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{\text{The slope}\ m=-\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have the points (-8, 2) and (1, -4). Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{-4-2}{1-(-8)}=\dfrac{-6}{9}=-\dfrac{6}{9}=-\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
