#8/9#

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#

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#
