Answer:
[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula:
[tex]\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }[/tex]
where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate
Slope
[tex] = \frac{8 - 5}{ - 4 - ( - 8)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{3}{ - 4 + 8} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
