Answer:
[tex] - \frac{2}{7} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula:
[tex]\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }[/tex]
where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate
Slope
[tex] = \frac{ - 8 - ( - 6)}{14 - 7} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 8 + 6}{7} [/tex]
[tex] = - \frac{2}{7} [/tex]
