Answer:

m = 3

Explanation:

We are given the following points:
(-2, -8) and (2,4)

We want to find the slope (m) of this line.

We can use the formula
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) where
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) are points.

As we are already given 2 points, we can label the values of the points.

$x_1=-2\\y_1=-8\\x_2=2\\y_2=4$

Now, substitute these values into the formula.

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

m=(4--8)/(2--2)

We can simplify this to:

m=(4+8)/(2+2)

m=(12)/(4)

m = 3
