Answer:
[tex]-\frac{3}{19}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the slope, use the following formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
The components in this equation represent y from both of the points and x from both of the points. Let's make coordinate (12, 2) #1 and coordinate (-7, 5) #2.
Plug in their corresponding numbers into the formula like so: [tex]m=\frac{5-2}{-7-12}[/tex]
Simplify: [tex]m=\frac{3}{-19}[/tex]
