Question

subtract in the numerator and denominator to find the slope of line d.
slope = \frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \frac{\text{change in } y\text{-values}}{\text{change in } x\text{-values}}
\frac{3 - 8}{6 - 2}
=
\frac{\square}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator (Δy)

$3 - 8 = -5$

Step2: Calculate denominator (Δx)

$6 - 2 = 4$

Answer:

$\frac{-5}{4}$
