Answer:

m = y/x = 67 - 40 / 5 - 1

Explanation:

m = slope

equation for slope aka line is

m = x over y = y (second coordinate) minus y (first coordinate) all over x (second coordinate) over x (first coordinate), then finish the subtraction, divide, and boom theres the answer, although the teacher didn't ask for the question so dont put it in
