The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the equation:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the coordinates are (2, 13) and (7, 6). Plugging these values into the equation, we get:
slope = (6 - 13) / (7 - 2)
slope = (-7) / (5)
slope = -7/5
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (2, 13) and (7, 6) is -7/5.
Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 13) and (7, 6).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
