Explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in yy over the change in xx, or rise over run.

m=change in ychange in xm=change in ychange in x

The change in xx is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in yy is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m=y2−y1x2−x1m=y2-y1x2-x1

Substitute in the values of xx and yy into the equation to find the slope.

m=12−(8)5−(4)m=12-(8)5-(4)

Simplify.

after that you should get m=4 as the answer
