Use the slope formula,
m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29=%285-%28-1%29%29%2F%28-6-7%29=6%2F-13

Hi,

(7,-1) 

(-6,5) +m+=+%28-1-5%29%2F%287-%28-6%29%29+=+highlight%28-6%2F13%29

Determine the slope of the line passing through the points (7,-1) (-6,5).
-------
slope = (5--1)/(-6-7) = 6/-13 = -6/13
