"slope "=5/2slope =52

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)=(3,8)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,3)let (x1,y1)=(3,8) and (x2,y2)=(1,3)

rArrm=(3-8)/(1-3)=(-5)/(-2)=5/2⇒m=3−81−3=−5−2=52
