Answer:

  • [tex]\boxed{\sf{-\dfrac{2}{3} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a slope formula.

Slope formula:

[tex]\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{RISE}{RUN} }[/tex]

y2=2

y1=6

x2=13

x1=1

Rewrite the problem.

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{2-6}{13-1}=\dfrac{-8}{12}=\dfrac{-8\div4}{12\div4}=\dfrac{-2}{3}=\boxed{\sf{-\dfrac{2}{3}}}[/tex]

  • Therefore, the slope is -2/3, which is our answer.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
