Answer 1

Answer: -3

Work Shown

`\text{Given Points: }(x_1,y_1) = (2,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (6,-8)\\\\m = \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}\\\\m = \frac{\text{y}_(2) - \text{y}_(1)}{\text{x}_(2) - \text{x}_(1)}\\\\m = (-8 - 4)/(6 - 2)\\\\m = (-12)/(4)\\\\m = -3\\\\`
