Answer:

The slope is -3

Explanation:

To find the slope we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

Pick 2 sets of points

(-5,-16) and (0,-1)

m = (-1--16)/ (0--5)

= (-1+16)/(0+5)

= -15/5

=-3

The slope is -3


(I believe the last point may be copied down incorrectly in the table. It should be 5 ,14)
