Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 6, - 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (- 4, - 8 )
m = [tex]\frac{-8-(-5)}{-4-(-6)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-8+5}{-4+6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-3}{2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
