The slope formula is y2-y1 over x2-x1. Therefore, you subtract 13-(-2) then under it , 8-(-5) . Since there are 2 negatives you add it because a negative plus a negative is a positive (- + - =+)
This gives you 15/13. lol Hope this helps!

Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

When given two points, we can find the slope from

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (13 - -2)/(8- -5)

= (13+2)/(8+5)

= 15/10

Divide the top and bottom by 5

=3/2
