What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (10,8) and (7,14)? Write your answer in simplest form.
The slope of a line passing through two points is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two given points.
Using the given points (10,8) and (7,14), we can substitute these values into the formula:
m = (14 - 8) / (7 - 10)
= 6 / -3
= -2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (10,8) and (7,14) is -2.
