Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

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

   = (-4-8)/(2 - -1)

   = (-4-8)/(2+1)

   = -12/3

   = -4

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for slope.

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }\\m=\frac{-4 - 8 }{2-(-1) }\\m=\frac{-4 - 8 }{2+1 }\\m=\frac{-12}{3}\\ m=-4[/tex]

The slop is -4.
