"slope "=7/6slope =76

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)=(-4,-2)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(8,12)let (x1,y1)=(−4,−2) and (x2,y2)=(8,12)

rArrm=(12-(-2))/(8-(-4))=14/12=7/6⇒m=12−(−2)8−(−4)=1412=76
