Answer: No, he should have put the x values in the denominator and the y values in the numerator

Explanation:

The formula for calculate the slope is:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

You can observe in the formula that the y values must be in the numerator and the x values must be in the denominator.

Then, the correct slope is:


m=(14.00-13.00)/(12-8)\\\\m=(1)/(4)

Then, Garret's slope is incorrect, because he should have put the x values in the denominator and the y values in the numerator.
