I will show you the steps:

1) $\frac{- 2 - 6}{6 - 8}$ $(-2-6)/(6-8)$

First, simplify the subtractions

$- 2 - 6 = - 8$ $-2-6=-8$

and $6 - 8 = - 2$ $6-8=-2$

2) now you have: $\frac{- 8}{- 2}$ $(-8)/(-2)$

3) Then, simplify $\frac{- 8}{- 2} : \frac{- 8 \div 2}{- 2 \div 2} = \frac{- 4}{- 1} = 4$ $(-8)/-2:" " (-8div2)/(-2div2)= (-4)/-1=4$

4) The answer is: $\frac{- 4}{- 1} = \frac{4}{1} = 4$ $(-4)/(-1) = 4/1 = 4$
