Find the slope of the line through each pair of points 8,4 2,6?

      The question gives us two points, (8, 4) &  (2, 6), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.

Finding the Slope

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)    

                                           =  (6 - 4) ÷ (2 - 8)  

                                           =   - ¹/₃

Finding the Equation

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

                                ⇒  y - 4 =  - ¹/₃ (x - 8)

To test my answer, I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information provided in the question and my answer.
