Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \frac{1}{2} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}$

From the question we have

$m = \frac{ - 4 - 6}{ - 8 - 12} = \frac{ - 10}{ - 20} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2}$

We have the final answer as

$\frac{1}{2}$
