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

Explanation:

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

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

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (7, 2) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (3, 1)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(7,2)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(3,1)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{1 - 2}{3 - 7} = \frac{- 1}{- 4} = \frac{1}{4}$ $rArrm=(1-2)/(3-7)=(-1)/(-4)=1/4$
