Answer:
slope = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/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, - 18) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, - 12) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = [tex]\frac{-12+18}{-10+14}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
