Answer

The slope of the line is -4/3

Explanation:

Given the following coordinates point

(14, -13) and (2, 3)

Slope = rise / run

rise = y2 - y1

run = x2 - x1

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Let; x1 = 14, y1 = -13, x2 = 2, and y2 = 3

Slope = 3 - (-13) / 2 - 14

Slope = 3 + 13 / - 12

Slope = 16 / -12

Slope = -4/3

Hence, the slope of the line is -4/3
