SOLUTION: Find the slope of the line through (0,6) and (8,0).
I think to start I am supposed to take
0-6/8-0=-6/8
Then I am stuck.

No you're not stuck, you have the answer,
except you need to reduce the fraction
to . That is the
slope of the line,
The negative sign tells us that the line slopes
downward to the right, the 3/4 tells us that if we could
slide down the line to the right, we would move downward
only 3/4 as fast as we would move to the right:
