Answer:

[tex]slope=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula for two points:

[tex]\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)}=\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Insert values

[tex]\frac{-12-(-10)}{11-5}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{-12+10}{11-5} \\\\\\\frac{-2}{6} \\\\-\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
