Question

How do you find the slope of (14,-8) and (7,-6)

Answer 1

The slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

plugging the values of the points given we have:

`\begin{gathered} m=(-6-(-8))/(7-14) \\ m=(-6+8)/(-7) \\ m=(2)/(-7) \\ m=-(2)/(7) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the slope is -2/7
