Answer 6

it's ok

Answer 7

the y coordinates are 26 and 65

what is the result if you subtract the two y values

Answer 8

-39

Answer 9

now do the same for the x values (in the same order)

Answer 10

you did 26 - 65 = -39

so do the same for the x values

2 - 5 = ???

Answer 11

-3

Answer 12

so we have -39: -3

what do you get if you reduced that ratio above?

Answer 13

13:1?
