Respuesta :

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(0,4)...x1 = 0 and y1 = 4
(-8,-1)...x2 = -8 and y2 = -1
now we sub and solve
slope = (-1 - 4) / (-8 - 0) = -5/-8 = 5/8 <=

Answer:

The slope is 5/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(-1)-4}{(-8)-0}= \frac{-5}{-8}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

5/8, which is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
