The slope is $2$ $2$ .

Here's how I did it:

Explanation:

To find the slope of two points, we use the formula $\frac{(change in y)}{(change in x)}$ $"(change in y)"/"(change in x)"$ or $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ :

$\frac{- 14 - (- 4)}{- 2 - 3}$ $(-14-(-4))/(-2-3)$

And now we simplify:
$\frac{- 14 + 4}{- 5}$ $(-14+4)/-5$

$\frac{- 10}{- 5}$ $(-10)/-5$

$2$ $2$

The slope is $2$ $2$ .

Hope this helps!
