"slope "=-1/7slope =−17

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)=(-6,7)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,6)let (x1,y1)=(−6,7) and (x2,y2)=(1,6)

rArrm=(6-7)/(1-(-6))=(-1)/7=-1/7⇒m=6−71−(−6)=−17=−17
