Answer:

The answer is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} [/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(−4, 8) and (−3, −6)

The slope is

[tex]m = \frac{ - 6 - 8}{ - 3 + 4} = \frac{ - 14}{1} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

- 14

Hope this helps you
