Answer: [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a line can be determined by dividing the differences between Y coordinates and X coordinates of two given points. i.e,
Slope of a line = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
Given,
[tex]x_{1} = -7[/tex] and [tex]y_{1} = 5[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = -4[/tex] and [tex]y_{2} = 18[/tex]
Now, by substituting the values in above formula, we get:
Slope of a line = [tex]\frac{18-5}{-4-(-7)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
