Answer: The slope is 8.

Step-by-step explanation: To get the slope you have to do y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. so you take the -5 and subtract -13 from it, which equals 8. Then subtract -19 from -18 which is 1. So you have 8/1 which is 8.

Answer:

Let (-18, -5) be (x1,y1)

(-19, -13) be (x2,y2)

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-13+5)/(-19 +18) = 8
