Slope, m =
Enter your answer as an integer or a reduced fraction in the form A/B

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{14}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-13})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{7}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{7}-\stackrel{y1}{(-13)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{-3}-\underset{x_1}{14}}} \implies \cfrac{ 7 +13 }{ -17 } \implies \cfrac{ 20 }{ -17 } \implies -\cfrac{20}{17}`
