Ans: -0.6−0.6

Explanation:

Slope == the gradient of the line

The gradient of line = (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2 - x_1)=y2−y1x2−x1

I will take (x_1 , y_1)(x1,y1) as (4 ,3)(4,3) and (x_2, y_2)(x2,y2) as (-1 , 6)(−1,6).

It doesn't really matter, you can take any way you want because the correct substitution into the formula is the important part.

So...

Gradient = (6-3)/(-1-4) = -0.6=6−3−1−4=−0.6
