Answer:

2

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(2,8)------>(X1,y1)

B(-6,-8)------>(x2,y2)

Now,

[tex]slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 8 - 8}{ - 6 - 2} \\ \: \: \: = \frac{ - 16}{ - 8} \\ \: \: \: \: = 2[/tex]

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is calculated like this:

Slope = vertical difference divided by horizontal difference.

So, from the line at the top marked ( 2,8 ) to the point that is vertically on line with both marked points = 8

And the horizontal difference is the number of gaps from the point marked (-6,-8) till the point we said was in line with both points. This is 4.

SO, 8/4 = 2

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
