Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 5) and (1, 14).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The formula to find the slope between two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), is given by the equation:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (8, 5) and (1, 14) in the formula, we can calculate the slope:
m = (14 - 5) / (1 - 8)
m = 9 / -7
Thus, the slope of the line that passes through (8, 5) and (1, 14) is -9/7.
