Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of two points

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-4-2)/(1--8)

   = (-4-2)/(1+8)

   = -6/9

   -2/3

Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{\text{The slope}\ m=-\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have the points (-8, 2) and (1, -4). Substitute:

[tex]m=\dfrac{-4-2}{1-(-8)}=\dfrac{-6}{9}=-\dfrac{6}{9}=-\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
