Answer:

m=-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points: (13,-4) and (1, 12)

To determine the slope of the line that joins the point, use the formula below;


\text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}

Substitute the given points:


\begin{gathered} m=(12-(-4))/(1-13) \\ =(12+4)/(-12) \\ =-(16)/(12) \\ =-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

The slope is -4/3.
