the answer is $\frac{7}{24}$ $7/24$

Explanation:

always remember that slope formula is $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ so you can apply this with this equation

$\frac{7}{24}$ $7/24$

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using $\frac{rise}{run}$ $"rise"/"run"$ , where $rise$ $"rise"$ is the difference of the y coordinates and $run$ $"run"$ is the difference of the x coordinates.

The x coordinate from the first pair is $- 3$ $-3$ , from the second ordered pair is $21$ $21$ . Therefore we have $- 3 - 21 = - 24$ $-3-21=-24$ which was the $run$ $"run"$ .

The y coordinate from the first pair is $7$ $7$ , from the second ordered pair is $14$ $14$ . Therefore we have $7 - 14 = - 7$ $7-14=-7$ which was the $rise$ $"rise"$ .

We know that the slope can be found using $\frac{rise}{run} \Rightarrow \frac{- 7}{- 24} \Rightarrow \frac{7}{24}$ $"rise"/"run" => (-7)/-24 => 7/24$
