What is the slope of the line that passes through the following two points? (6, -4) and (-2, -8)

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1 /x2 - x1

Given

x1 = 6

y1 = -4

x2 = -2

y2 = -8

Therefore

Slope = -8 -(-4) /-2 - 6

= -8 + 4/-2 - 6

= -4/-8

= 1/2

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A point is written in the form (x, y)

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

Slope/gradient of a line = change in y / change in x

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

Where x1 = 6, y1 = -4 , x2 = -2 , y2 = -8

Slope = ( -8 - - 4) / ( -2 -6)

Note : - × - = +

Slope = (-8 + 4) / (-2 - 6)

= -4/-8

Note : - ÷ - = +

Therefore slope = +1/2

Slope= 1/2 or 0.5
