Find the slope " 1.) " (8","-4)","(5","-1) m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

1. The slope between two points \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) is given by the formula: 2. Plugging in the given points \( (8, -4) \) and \( (5, -1) \): 3. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points \( (8, -4) \) and \( (5, -1) \) is -1.
