Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-8}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}} \implies \cfrac{-14}{3 +4}\implies \cfrac{-14}{7}\implies -2`
