Solution

The slope of a line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Here, the two points given are (10,14) and (-6,20). So, x1 = 10, y1 = 14, x2 = -6, and y2 = 20.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

slope = (20 - 14) / (-6 - 10)

This simplifies to:

slope = 6 / -16

We can reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2:

slope = 3 / -8

So, the slope of the line through the points (10,14) and (-6,20) is -3/8.
