To find the slope of this line, I will show you the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using the graphing method, we first set up a coordinate system like I have done for you below.

Next, we plot our two points.

Start by plotting (-8, -6) which we label point A and (2, -3) which

we label point B and we graph our line through the two points.

Next, remember that the slope or m is equal

to the rise/run from point A to point B.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 3 units and run 10 units.

So our slope or rise/run is 3/10.
