Answer:

The slope is -1/4

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Let's first assign variables.

x1 = 12, y1 = -17, x2 = 4, y2 = -15

Now, we have to substitute and then solve.

m = (-15 - (-17)) / (4 - 12)

m = (-15 + 17) / (-8)

m = 2/ -8

m = - 1/4 <---- This is our answer

Hope this helps!
