Answer:
m = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the given points to solve the slope formula.
(-2, 12) (-6, 8)
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
m is the slope, x is the first number in the given point, and y is the second. (It doesn't matter which point you choose to be x1,y1 or x2,y2)
[tex]m=\frac{8-12}{-6-(-2)}[/tex] (subtracting negative cancels out and becomes adding a positive)
[tex]m=\frac{-4}{-4}[/tex] (the negatives cancel out and become positive)
m = 1
