Answer:


  • \boxed{\text{The slope is -8.}}

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, you have to use a slope formula.

Slope formula:


\Longrightarrow:\sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }

⇒ y2=(-15)

⇒ y1=1

⇒ x2=1

⇒ x1=(-1)

Rewrite the whole problem down.


\Longrightarrow: \sf{(-15-1)/(1-\left(-1\right))=(-16)/(2)=\boxed{\sf{-8}}

  • So, the slope is -8, which is our answer.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
