EXPLANATION
Given the dots:
(x1,y1)=(8,2) and (x2,y2)=(6,3)
The slope equation is:
[tex]\text{Slope = }\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}[/tex]Replacing the ordered pairs in the slope equation will give us:
[tex]\text{Slope = }\frac{(3-2)}{(6-8)}=\frac{1}{-2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]The slope of the line is -1/2.
