\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average\ rate\\ of\ change \end{array}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \begin{cases} x_1=0\\ x_2=8 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(8)-f(0)}{8-0}\implies \cfrac{14-(-10)}{8-0}\implies \cfrac{14+10}{8}\implies \cfrac{3^o}{1hr}
