Answer:
\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{(5)/(8)}

Explanation:

Given information


(x_1,~y_1)=(14,~10)


(x_2,~y_2)=(-10,~-5)

Given the formula for finding the slope


\text{Slope}=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute values into the given formula


\text{Slope}=((-5)-(10))/((-10)-(14))

Simplify by subtraction


\text{Slope}=(-15)/(-24)

Simplify the fraction


\text{Slope}=(5*(-3))/(8*(-3))


\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{(5)/(8)}

Hope this helps!! :)
