Answer:

The slope of the line is
-(10)/(7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (
m) is the change in dependent variable (
y) divided by the change in independent variable (
x):


m = (y_(f)-y_(o))/(x_(f)-x_(o)) (1)

If we know that
(x_(o), y_(o)) = (0, 2) and
(x_(f), y_(f)) = (1.4, 0), then the slope of the line is:


m = (0-2)/(1.4-0)


m = -(10)/(7)

The slope of the line is
-(10)/(7).
