1/2

2/1

-1/2

-2/1

None of the above.

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ (1)/(2) }}`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

From the question we have

`m = ( - 4 - 6)/( - 8 - 12) = ( - 10)/( - 20) = (10)/(20) = (1)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(1)/(2) \\`

Hope this helps you
