Answer:

slope = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6,  4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 8)

m = [tex]\frac{-8-4}{2+6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-12}{8}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
