Answer:
-1/2
Explanation:
Given the pairs of points (2,4) and (14,-2).
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}[/tex]We then have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{4-(-2)}{2-14} \\ =\frac{4+2}{-12} \\ =\frac{6}{-12} \\ =-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The slope of the line joining the given points is -1/2.
