$m=color(blue)(5/3$

$(7,13) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(-2,-2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope
$m=color(blue)((y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m=color(blue)((-2-13)/(-2-7)$

$m=(-15)/(-9)$

$m=(cancel15)/(cancel9)$

$m=color(blue)(5/3$

What is the slope of the line between (7, 13) (7, 13) and (-2, -2 ) (-2, -2 ) ?
