Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 6) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = [tex]\frac{-6-8}{4+8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-14}{12}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]
