Answer:

slope = 7/5

Explanation:

We can solve this using our equation for slope!

y2 - y1

---------- = m (slope)

x2 - x1

Now lets chose which pairs will be which variables.

13 from the pair of points (13, 9) will be x1, while 9 will be y1.

8 from the pair of points (8, 2) will be x2, while 2 while be y2.

2 - 9 -7

------- = ---

8 - 13 -5

Therefore, the answer is 7/5 or 1.4

(the line/s ------- represent division)
