Answer:

  • -7 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation:


\sf slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

where (x1, y1), (x2, y2) are coordinates/points

The given points are:
  • PT1 (-13, -4), PT2 (-9, -32)

substitute these values:


slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (-32-(-4))/(-9-(-13)) = (-32+4)/(-9+13) = (-28)/(4) = -7
