$m = \frac{3}{8}$ $m=3/8$

Explanation:

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

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

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (- 2, 4) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (6, 7)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-2,4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(6,7)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{7 - 4}{6 - (- 2)} = \frac{3}{8}$ $rArrm=(7-4)/(6-(-2))=3/8$
