Answer:

slope = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have been given two points, you can use point-slope formula to find the slope. In the equation, "m" is the slope.

1st Point: (1,3)

2nd Point: (5, -2)

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)                    <----- Point-Slope Equation

3 - (-2) = m(1 - 5)                       <----- Plug "x" and "y" values into equation

5 = m(-4)                                   <----- Combine like terms

-5/4 = m                                    <----- Divide both sides by -4
