-14
slope:

Slope is - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (-1,10), (1,2), (3,-6) and (5,-14).

Now, we have to find the slope of the line containing these points.

We can pick any two points to find the slope. Let they are (-1,10) and (1,2).

Now, we know that the slope of a straight line passing through any two known points and is given by  

........... (1)

Therefore, the slope of the straight line through the given points will be
