Final answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (-1,6) and (14,3) is -1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, (-1,6) and (14,3), we can use the formula:

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

Using the coordinates of the two points, we have:

Slope = (3 - 6) / (14 - (-1))

Simplifying the expression, we get:

Slope = -3 / 15 = -1/5

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/5
