Answer:

The larger number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

$\text{Slope} = \dfrac{7}9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given that,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (16,14)~ \text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (-2,0)\\\\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{0-14}{-2-16}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{-14}{-18}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{7}9$
