Answer: m = -2

Step-by-step explanation: Using our slope formula, we take the second y minus the first y which in this case is 12 - 8 over our second x minus our first x which in this case is 2 - 4.

So 12 - 8 is 4 and 2 - 4 is -2. So we have 4/-2 which can be simplified to -2.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

So we would say m = -2.
