shown in the table.
The slope of the line that passes through the points in
the table is
y
-14
8
-7
6
0

Answer 1

-2/7

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope = -
`(2)/(7)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 14, 8 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 6) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
`(6-8)/(-7+14)` =
`(-2)/(7)` = -
`(2)/(7)`
