Answer:

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\[/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-1,8) and (3,-4)

The slope is

[tex]m = \frac{ - 4 - 8}{3 - - 1} = \frac{ - 12}{4} = - 3 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

- 3

Hope this helps you
