"slope "=-13/7slope =−137

Explanation:

"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)∙xm=y2−y1x2−x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(0,4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(7,-9)let (x1,y1)=(0,4) and (x2,y2)=(7,−9)

m=(-9-4)/(7-0)=(-13)/7=-13/7m=−9−47−0=−137=−137
