Question

algebra i with probability, slope of a line
finding the slope of a line given a table
find the slope of the line that passes through the points shown in the table.
the slope of the line that passes through the points in the table is

x	y
-14	8
-7	6
0	4
7	2
14	0

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

Let's take the points $(-14,8)$ and $(-7,6)$.

Step2: Use slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1=-14,y_1 = 8,x_2=-7,y_2 = 6$. Then $m=\frac{6 - 8}{-7-(-14)}=\frac{-2}{-7 + 14}=\frac{-2}{7}=-\frac{2}{7}$.

Answer:

$-\frac{2}{7}$
