Answer:

H) -6/13  

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line between a pair of two points, use the slope formula, [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]. Substitute the x and y values of (12,7) and (-14,19) into the formula and simplify like so:  

[tex]m = \frac{(19)-(7)}{(-14)-(12)} \\m =\frac{19-7}{-14-12} \\m = \frac{12}{-26} \\m = -\frac{6}{13}[/tex]

So, Option H is correct.
