Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (4,3) and (-6,-5), the slope of the line that passes through the two points is:


\begin{gathered} Slope=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{\text{Change in x}} \\ =(-5-3)/(-6-4) \\ =(-8)/(-10) \\ =(4)/(5) \end{gathered}

The slope of the line is 4/5.
