Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{-2-2}{2-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{2+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
