Slope formula: [tex]\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}[/tex]
Given the two sets of coordinates (8,0) and (0,-2), plug them into the formula to find the slope. x1 is 8, x2 is 0, y1 is 0, y2 is -2.
[tex]\frac{0-(-2)}{8-0}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0+2}{8-0}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
The slope is[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
I hope this helps :)
