The answer is 2 1/2 because you take the number of steps which is 13,200 and divide it by how many feet are in a mile which is 5,280.

Find the equation of a line that goes through the points (-3,5) and (5,-11)

Rasek [7]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-11}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-11}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{-16}{5+3}\implies \cfrac{-16}{8}\implies -2$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y-5-2(x+3)\implies y-5=-2x-6\implies y=-2x-1$
