Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing you should have noticed is that x is the same for both coordinates; in other words, x=17, which means there's no change and x, and it will therefore be a straight vertical line. From there, you can find the change in y to determine the slope (because slope is rise over run). Since 8-(-13)=21, the slope is 21.
