Question

What is the slope between (14,-8) and (7,-6)

Answer 1

`- (2)/(7)`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`\boxed{ slope = (y _(1) - y_2 )/(x_1 - x_2) }`

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate

Slope

`= ( - 8 - ( - 6))/(14 - 7)`

`= ( - 8 + 6)/(7)`

`= - (2)/(7)`
