Answer: -2/7
This value is a fraction.

----------------------------------

Work Shown:

The first two rows in the table produce these two points (x1,y1) = (-14,8) and (x2,y2) = (-7,6)

So, x1=-14, y1=8, x2=-7, and y2=6

Plug these four values into the slope formula and simplify
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 - (-14))
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 + 14)
m = -2/7
