Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-14}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-14}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{7}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{-15}{7+3}\implies \cfrac{-15}{10}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2}$
