Recall the slope equation
![(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/wwu32dv31uvih3htj263sjph8px6c69gmt.png)
We're given 4 different coordinate points, but we only have to use 2.
Let's use (-6, 8) and (-2, 5), since they're the first two points in the graph.
Use
:
![(5 - 8)/(-2 - (-6))](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/du92rqrvdgnvbbsrifyrpd4lof6jf1zyip.png)
![(-3)/(-2 + 6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/bsgiy0as56j54413ozmmjgrpnss8a3e7ww.png)
![(-3)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/2i7tu3ps4uw0zwqhy617bxvtjo6664a4rl.png)
The slope of the line is -

Good luck! If you need me to explain any of this process in more detail, just ask :))
