To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)

Let's calculate the slope using the given points (8, 4) and (2, 6):

Change in y-coordinates = 6 - 4 = 2
Change in x-coordinates = 2 - 8 = -6

Therefore, the slope is:

slope = 2 / -6 =
