Answer:

-1/13

Explanation:

The slope of a line is calculated as rise/run.

The rise is the difference in y-values, and the run is the difference in x values

slope= y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

let (26 , 7) be (x , y) and (-39 , 12) be (x₂, y₂)

slope= (12 - 7)/ (-39 -26)

= 5/-65

reduce the fraction to get -1/13
