Answer: The slope of the line formed by these two points is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

For the coordinates given:

[tex]x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]Slope=\frac{(-6-3)}{(-4-8)}\\\\Slope=\frac{-9}{-12}\\\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
