8/9

Explanation:

you have to remember (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) so with that, you can plug in the numbers: (2-(-6))/(4-(-5)) then you get your answer

m=8/9

Explanation:

The slope formula is:

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1),

where:

m is the slope, and the two points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2).

Either point can be 1 or 2. I'm going to choose point 1 to be (-5,-6), and point 2 to be (4,2).

Plug in the points and solve for m.

m=(2-(-6))/(4-(-5))

Simplify.

m=(2+6)/(4+5)

m=8/9
