Find the slope using the following points:

(20, -10) (6, -20)

`\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}`

Use the slope formula:-

`\LARGE\text{$\displaystyle(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$}`

Replace letters with numbers as follows:-

`\Large\text{$\displaystyle(-20-(-10))/(6-20)$}`

On simplification,

`\Large\text{$\displaystyle(-20+10)/(-14)$}`

On further simplification,

`\Large\text{$\displaystyle(-10)/(-14)$}`

Reducing the fraction,

`\large\text{$\displaystyle(10)/(14)$}`

`\large\text{$\displaystyle(5)/(7)$}\leftarrow\:slope`

Good luck with your studies.
