"slope "=-7/3slope =−73

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)=(2,4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(5,-3)let (x1,y1)=(2,4) and (x2,y2)=(5,−3)

rArrm=(-3-4)/(5-2)=(-7)/3=-7/3⇒m=−3−45−2=−73=−73
