To find the slope of this line we will use the slope formula, which is:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
(Where [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] are points on the line)
To find our answer to this problem, we can simply substitute the values we are given:
[tex]m = \dfrac{-16 - (-8)}{-8 - (-10)} = \dfrac{-16 + 8}{-8 + 10} = \dfrac{-8}{2} = -4[/tex]
The slope of the line is -4.
