Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are (-1,8) and (3,-4)

Slope = [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Slope = [tex]\frac{-4-8}{3+1}[/tex]

Slope = [tex]\frac{-12}{4}[/tex]

Slope = -3

Answer:

-3

Option B is the right option.

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-1,8)-----------> (x1,y1)

B(3,-4)------------->(x2,y2)

Now,

[tex]slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 4 - 8}{3 - ( - 1)} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 4 - 8}{3 + 1} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 12}{4} \\ \: \: \: \: = - 3[/tex]

hope this helps
