What is the slope of (65,66) and (40,38)?

I got -1/2 but then I also got 28/65 and I'm a little confused. Please help.

    Let (x1,y1)=(65,66) and (x2,y2)=(40,38)

    Slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    =(38-66)/(40-65)

    =28/25 = 1.12

    66-38/65-40

    28/15

    ∆y/∆x = (66 - 38) / (65 - 40) = 28 /25

    28/25
