$slope = - \frac{1}{4}$ $"slope "=-1/4$

Explanation:

$to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula$ $"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"$

$∙ x m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (5, 5) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (1, 6)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(5,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,6)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{6 - 5}{1 - 5} = \frac{1}{- 4} = - \frac{1}{4}$ $rArrm=(6-5)/(1-5)=1/(-4)=-1/4$
