Answer:

Slope of this line = -4/5.

Explanation:

The formula is

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the 2 points.

So here we have:

(6-2)/(3-8)

= -4/5.

Answer:

-4/5

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line with two points, we do y2-y1/x2-x1.

y2 is 2. y1 is 6.

2-6 = -4

x2 is 8. x1 is 3

8-3 = 5

-4/5 is the answer meaning it is the slope.
