Answer 1

Answer:

$m=2$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (2, 8)

Point (-6, -8)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-8-8}{-6-2}$
2. Subtract:                       $m=\frac{-16}{-8}$
3. Divide:                           $m=2$
