Answer:

-6/8

Explanation:

The slope formula is y2-y1

____

x2-x1

In the ordered pair (-20,4)

-20 is x1 the first x and 4 is x1

-12 is the x2 i.e. 2nd point and -10 is y2 i.e. 2nd point on y axis

so we plug in the value to the formula -10-(-4) two negatives become +

_____

-12-(-20)

so -10+4 -6 6

____ = ___ = - _

-12+20 8 8

(remember you subtract and the signs are different you subtract and use the sign of larger number)
