[tex]\tt Step-by-step~explanation:[/tex]
Remember: To find the slope, we use the equation Rise/Run.
[tex]\tt Step~1:[/tex]
Let's find the rise first. Rise = How many units it goes up/down We can count down 6 units from the origin. Our rise is - 6.
[tex]\tt Step~2:[/tex]
To find the run. we count left/right. We could count 8 units. Our run is 8.
The slope is negative because it slopes downwards. If the slope is positive, then the line would be rising up.
[tex]\tt Step~3:[/tex]
To find the slope, we use the formula rise/run.
[tex]\tt \frac{-6}{8}=-\frac{3}{4}~or~ -0.75[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~m=-\frac{3}{4}~or~-0.75;~Negative~slope}[/tex]
