Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, the slope formula will need to be used:

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Plug in the points:

[tex]m = \frac{-4-5}{8-2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]m = \frac{-9}{6} \\\\m = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is :

[tex]m = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

-9/6 that’s because you take -4 - 5 and you get -9 and then you take 8 - 2 and you get 6 so the slope down 9 and right 6
