Slope of a Line given points (-1, -6) and (-3, -14)

Given Coordinates: x1 = -1  y1 = -6,  x2 = -3  y2 = -14
Slope Formula: m  =  
y2 − y1/x2 − x1

Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:
m  =  
-14 − (-6)/-3 − (-1)

m  =  
-14 + 6/-3 + 1
m  =  
-8/-2
m  =  
8/2
   (Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 2, GCF(8, 2) = 2)
m  =  4
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-1, -6) and (-3, -14) is equal to 4
