Slope: (-8)(−8)

Explanation:

Given the (x,y)(x,y) coordinate points(color(red)(-2,-4))(−2,−4) and (color(blue)(-3,4))(−3,4)

Slope = ("change in "y)/("corresponding change in "x)=change in ycorresponding change in x

color(white)("XXX")=(color(blue)(4)-(color(red)(-4)))/((color(blue)(-3))-(color(red)(-2))) = (4+4)/(-3+2) =8/(-1) = -8XXX=4−(−4)(−3)−(−2)=4+4−3+2=8−1=−8
