The slope of the line passing through the pair of points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)Using this formula, we can find the slope of the line passing through the points P (-9, 14) and Q (-18, -2):m = (-2 - 14) / (-18 - (-9))= -16 / -9= 16 / 9Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the pair of points P (-9, 14) and Q (-18, -2) is 16 / 9.
