Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

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

m = $\frac{6-8}{-7+14}$ = $\frac{-2}{7}$ = - $\frac{2}{7}$
