Answer:m=-5/4

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for finding slope is y1-y2 / x1-x2 so when plugging in these coordinates, you get -3-(-8)/-6-(-2). When simplified -3-(-8) is 5 and -6-(-2) is -4, so the answer is -5/4. You can also switch the numbers so its -8-(-3) / -2-(-6) and still get the same answer.
