find the slope of the line that connects the two points (-6, 8) and (2,-1)
please explain also



Answer :

-9/8. The formula for slope is (Y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
[tex]m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-1 - 8}{2 - (-6)} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-9}{2 + 6} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-9}{8} [/tex]
