$4$ $4$

Explanation:

To find the slope using two points:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$\frac{- 5 - 3}{2 - 4}$ $(-5-3)/(2-4)$

$\frac{- 8}{- 2}$ $(-8)/(-2)$

$4$ $4$

The slope is $4$ $4$ .

Explanation:

$(4, 3)$ $(4, 3)$ and $(2, - 5)$ $(2, -5)$

Slope of a line is defined by $\frac{change in y}{change in x}$ $"change in y"/"change in x"$ or $\frac{rise}{run}$ $"rise"/"run"$ or the formula $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

We have the value of two points, so we can plug them into the formula:
$\frac{- 5 - 3}{2 - 4}$ $(-5-3)/(2-4)$

Simplify...
$\frac{- 8}{- 2}$ $(-8)/-2$

$4$ $4$

The slope is $4$ $4$ .

Hope this helps!
