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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-4, -3)

Point (14, 0)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [Slope Formula]:                    $m=\frac{0+3}{14+4}$
2. Evaluate Addition:                                   $m=\frac{3}{18}$
3. Simplify:                                                   $m=\frac{1}{6}$
