What is the slope of the line?
Write your answer as an integer or simplified fraction.

Answer

To find the slope of the line, we use the formula for the slope between two points: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

  1. Using the points (13, 22) and (14, 16):
    m = (16 - 22) / (14 - 13) = -6 / 1 = -6
  2. Using the points (14, 16) and (15, 10):
    m = (10 - 16) / (15 - 14) = -6 / 1 = -6
  3. Using the points (15, 10) and (16, 4):
    m = (4 - 10) / (16 - 15) = -6 / 1 = -6

The slope of the line is -6.
