Answer:
The slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{10}{7}[/tex].
Explanation:
The slope of the line ([tex]m[/tex]) is the change in dependent variable ([tex]y[/tex]) divided by the change in independent variable ([tex]x[/tex]):
[tex]m = \frac{y_{f}-y_{o}}{x_{f}-x_{o}}[/tex] (1)
If we know that [tex](x_{o}, y_{o}) = (0, 2)[/tex] and [tex](x_{f}, y_{f}) = (1.4, 0)[/tex], then the slope of the line is:
[tex]m = \frac{0-2}{1.4-0}[/tex]
[tex]m = -\frac{10}{7}[/tex]
The slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{10}{7}[/tex].
