Answer: The slope of the line formed by these two points is

Explanation:

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

For the coordinates given:

$x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Slope=((-6-3))/((-4-8))\\\\Slope=(-9)/(-12)\\\\Slope=(3)/(4)$

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is
