Find the slope of the line that passes through (4, 8) and (8, 5).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the two points are (4, 8) and (8, 5).
Plugging in the values:
m = (5 - 8) / (8 - 4)
m = -3 / 4
So, the slope of the line passing through (4, 8) and (8, 5) is -3/4.
