Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the pairs of points (2,4) and (14,-2).


\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}

We then have:


\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(4-(-2))/(2-14) \\ =(4+2)/(-12) \\ =(6)/(-12) \\ =-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

The slope of the line joining the given points is -1/2.
