• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (3, 14)

Point (7, 9)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [Slope Formula]:                    $m=\frac{9-14}{7-3}$
2. Subtract:                                                   $m=\frac{-5}{4}$

Answer 2

M = -5/4 im pretty sure
