well the formula for slope is m=(y2-y1/x2-x1). y2 = -5 y1= 3 x2 = 2 x1 = -14. put that all together to get -5-3/2-(-14). well -5 - 3 = -8. the second one is like a multiplication problem so a negative minus a negative is a positive. which give u 2 + 14 = 16. so you get the fraction -8/16 both are divisible by 8 so divide the equation by 8 and you get -1/2.
