Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{28}{5}[/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 ) = (9, 16) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (14, - 12)
m = [tex]\frac{-12-16}{14-9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-28}{5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{28}{5}[/tex]
