I NEEEEED HELP ASAP CORRECT ANWSER PLEASE

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

Slope formula:
`(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

We have to find the slope for the points (4, 8) and (8, 6).

(x1, y1) - coordinates of the first point (4, 8).

(x2, y2) - coordinates of the second point (8, 6).

Now that we know what the variables stand for, we plug the numbers into the formula.

`(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1) =(6-8)/(8-4) \\\\= (-2)/(4) =(-1)/(2)`NOTE: -1/2 is -2/4 in the simplest form.

So, the slope of this equation is -1/2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

slope, m = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2) = (8-6) / ( 4-8) = 2/(-4) = - 1/2 slope
