$Slope = m = - (\frac{1}{7})$ $color(brown)("Slope " = m = -(1/7)$

Use the formula $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$ to find the slope.

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (15, 2), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 6, 5)$ $(x_1,y_1) = (15,2), (x_2,y_2) = (-6,5)$

$m = \frac{5 - 2}{- 6 - 15} = (\frac{3}{- 21}) = - \frac{1}{7}$ $m = (5-2) / (-6 - 15) = (3/-21) = -1/7$
