Answer:

Explanation:

Slope formula: m = y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1 OR m= y2-y1/x2-x1

Point (-1,4): -1 is considered x1 and 4 is considered y1

Point (4,-8): 4 is considered x2 and -8 is considered y2

Substitute into equation:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = -8-4/4-(1)

m = -12/5

You cannot simplify further so the slope of the line is (-12,5)
