Studdy Solution
Simplify the expression to find the slope:
m=3614+1 m = \frac{3 - 6}{14 + 1} m=315 m = \frac{-3}{15}
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
m=3÷315÷3 m = \frac{-3 \div 3}{15 \div 3} m=15 m = \frac{-1}{5}
The slope of the line is:
15 \boxed{-\frac{1}{5}}
