Slope of the line through the points (-3, 4) and (-1, -8)



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+=+%28-8+-+4%29%2F%28-1+-+%28-3%29%29


m+=+%28-8+-+4%29%2F%28-1+%2B+3%29


m+=+%28-12%29%2F%282%29


m+=+-6



Answer: Slope is m+=+-6
