Question

What is the slope of this line?

(sorry for the quality.) ​

Answer 1

slope = - 1

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8,6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(-2-6)/(0+8)` =
`(-8)/(8)` = - 1
