Question

what is the slope of this line?

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points (- 8,-6) and (2,2).

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1=-8,y_1 = - 6,x_2=2,y_2 = 2$. Then $m=\frac{2-(-6)}{2-(-8)}=\frac{2 + 6}{2 + 8}=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$
