Answer 1

use the slope formula

\[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 2

(x1,y1) = (-4,8)

(x2,y2) = (-3,-6)

Answer 3

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ -4}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 8}})\quad &({\color{red}{ -3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -6}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 4

ohh thanks XD ...

I think I get it now :)
