Answer:

Explanation:
The formula for slope is:

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through.
The line passes through (3,14) and (7,9). Therefore,

Substitute the values into the formula.

Solve the numerator.

Solve the denominator.

This fraction is reduced, so it is the answer.
The slope is equal to -5/4
