Explanation:
"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula
•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)∙xm=y2−y1x2−x1
"let "(x_1,y_1)=(1,6)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(7,2)let (x1,y1)=(1,6) and (x2,y2)=(7,2)
rArrm=(2-6)/(7-1)=(-4)/6=-2/3⇒m=2−67−1=−46=−23
