To find the slope of the line represented by the table of values, we can use the formula for the slope \( m \) between two points \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \):
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
Let's choose two points from the table. We can use the points \( (-7, 9) \) and \( (8, -15) \).
Using these points:
- \( x_1 = -7 \)
- \( y_1 = 9 \)
- \( x_2 = 8 \)
- \( y_2 = -15 \)
Now we substitute the values into the slope formula:
\[ m = \frac{-15 - 9}{8 - (-7)} = \frac{-15 - 9}{8 + 7} = \frac{-24}{15} \]
Now, simplify the fraction:
\[ m = \frac{-24}{15} = \frac{-8}{5} \]
Thus, the slope of the line is:
\[ \boxed{-\frac{8}{5}} \]
