The slope of the line that passes through the points ( -3, -14 ) and ( 0, -9 ) is 5/3
<h3>How to calculate the slope of the line?</h3>
From the question, the points are given as
( -3, -14 ) and ( 0, -9 )
Rewrite the above points properly as ordered pairs
So, we have the following ordered pairs
(-3, -14) and (0, -9)
The slope of the line is then calculated using the following slope equation
Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Where
(x, y) = (-3, -14) and (0, -9)
Substitute the known values of the ordered pairs in the equation Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
So, we have the following equation
Slope = (-9 + 14)/(0 + 3)
Evaluate the sum in the above equation
So, we have the following representation
Slope = 5/3
Hence, the slope of the line is 5/3
