Slope of the line through the points (-4, 8) and (-2, 5)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%285+-+8%29%2F%28-2+-+%28-4%29%29


m+=+%285+-+8%29%2F%28-2+%2B+4%29


m+=+%28-3%29%2F%282%29


Answer: Slope is m+=+-3%2F2
