Answer:
See below:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! We can find the slope by using the rise over run formula as show below:
[tex]\frac{y_{2}-{y_{1}} }{x_{2}-{x_{1}}}[/tex]
If we plugin our values, which are (4,9) and (-8,5) we can use the 1st set of numbers as y2 and x2 and the second as y1 and x2
So we would get:
[tex]\frac{9-5}{4-(-8)}[/tex]
Since we have two negatives. it becomes a positive.
Therefore our slope is
[tex]\frac{4}{12} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Which in words is down 1 right 3.
Good Luck On Your Test!!! Hope you ace it :D
