check the picture below.


\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~{{ 0}} &,&{{ 5280}}~) % (c,d) &&(~{{ 70}} &,&{{ 11990}}~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{11990-5280}{70-0}\implies \cfrac{6710}{70}\implies \cfrac{671}{7}
