Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(4, - 4)
m = [tex]\frac{-4-2}{4+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{8}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
