"slope "=2/5slope =25

Explanation:

"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)xm=y2y1x2x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(4,6)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-1,4)let (x1,y1)=(4,6) and (x2,y2)=(1,4)

rArrm=(4-6)/(-1-4)=(-2)/(-5)=2/5m=4614=25=25
