Slope of a Line given points (19, -16) and (-7, -15)

Given Coordinates: x1 = 19  y1 = -16,  x2 = -7  y2 = -15
Slope Formula: m  =  
y2 − y1/x2 − x1

Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:
m  =  
-15 − (-16)/-7 − 19
m  =  
-15 + 16/-7 − 19
m  =  
1/-26
m  =  –
1/26

Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (19, -16) and (-7, -15) is equal to  –
1/26

Note: As a decimal number,  –
1/26
  ≈ -0.038461538461538
