Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 14, 8 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 6) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = [tex]\frac{6-8}{-7+14}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{7}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
