The slope $=5/13$

The points are :

$(4,7) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(-9,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is found using formula

slope $=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$=(2-7)/(-9-4)$

$=(-5)/(-13)$

$=5/13$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (4,7) , (-9,2) (4,7) , (-9,2)?
