Answer:
[tex] - \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }[/tex]
Using the above formula,
slope of line
[tex] = \frac{33 - 8}{ - 16 - ( - 6)} \\ = \frac{25}{ - 16 + 6} \\ = \frac{25}{ - 10} \\ = - \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
*Since the slope a line is the coefficient of x in the slope-intercept form, it is usually left as an improper fraction if it is not a whole number.
