m=y1-y2/x1-x2

Plug in x1, y1 and x2, y2 using your ordered pairs, (6,3); (4,8).
It makes it easier to label your ordered pairs so you don't get confused.
(X1= 6; Y1=3 || X2=4; Y2=8)

m=8-3/4-6
Subtract 8 from 3, which would be 5 (x).
Subtract 4 from 6, which would be -2(y).
Now, put them together to get your slope.
m=5/-2.

(6,3) (4,8)

Find the slope :)

m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

Plug in the values.

m = 8 - 3 / 4 - 6

Simplify.

m = 5/-2

So, the slope of -5/2

Slope-intercept form :

y = mx + b

Where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

y = -5/2x + 8

~Hope I helped!~
