Answer:
[tex]-\frac{15}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that m= slope. The point slope form is [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
Plug in the second y value, 1, and the first y value, 17 into the numerator of the fraction. Then, plug the second x value, -7 and the first x value, -14, into the denominator. Your fraction should look like this: [tex]\frac{1-(-14)}{-7-17}[/tex]
1-(-14) is 15 and -7-17= -24. You should now have a slope of [tex]-\frac{15}{24}[/tex]
