if you notice the graph, the points (0, 6 ) and (1, -2) are on the line, so let's use those then,


\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~{{ 0}} &,&{{6}}~) % (c,d) &&(~{{ 1}} &,&{{ -2}}~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-2-6}{1-0}\implies \cfrac{-8}{1}\implies -8
