The slope
$m = \frac{- 15}{8}$ $m=(-15)/(8)$

The points given are
$(6, 13) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(6,13) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1)$

$(14, - 2) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(14,-2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2)$

The slope
$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m = \frac{- 2 - 13}{14 - 6}$ $m=(-2-13)/(14-6)$

$m = \frac{- 15}{8}$ $m=(-15)/(8)$

What is the slope of the line between (6, 13) (6,13) (6, 13) and (14, -2 ) (14,−2) (14, -2 ) ?
