 (8,2)  m = 7/-14 = -1/2

Following often used for determining the characteristics of a Line:
Point-slope formula, {{{m =(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}} OR {{{(y -y[1]) = m(x-x[1])}}}
*[tex \LARGE\ The \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
