To help solve this, we need to use the slope formula.

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We get these values by picking two points on a line.

We will use points (-3, 1) and (-17, 2).

y1 = 1

y2 = 2

x1 = -3

x2 = -17

Let's plug these into our formula.

(2) - (1) / (-17) - (-3) = 1 / - 14

The slope is 1 / -14
