Answer:
Slope m = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x_{1}=-6\\ y_{1}=-4\\\\x_{2}=2\\y_{2}=1\\\\[/tex]
def. of slope = rise over run
[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{2}}[/tex]
so:
[tex]\frac{1-(-4)}{2-(-6)} = \frac{1+4}{2+6} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
We get [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] as our slope
