$\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$

To find the slope using two points:

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

$\frac{- 8 - 2}{- 7 - 8}$ $(-8-2)/(-7-8)$

$\frac{- 10}{- 15}$ $(-10)/(-15)$

$\frac{10}{15}$ $10/15$

$\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (8,2) , (-7, -8)(8,2),(−7,−8) (8,2) , (-7, -8)?
