How do you find the slope given (7,12), (4,-13)?

The slope is $m = \frac{25}{3}$ $m=25/3$ .

Explanation:

To find $m$ $m$ (the slope), the formula is $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m = \frac{(- 13) - 12}{4 - 7}$ $m= ((-13)-12)/ (4-7)$

$m = \frac{- 25}{- 3}$ $m=(-25)/(-3)$

$m = \frac{25}{3}$ $m=25/3$

And that is your slope. I hope this helps.
