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)=(8,7)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(2,-1)let (x1,y1)=(8,7) and (x2,y2)=(2,−1)
rArrm=(-1-7)/(2-8)=(-8)/(-6)=4/3⇒m=−1−72−8=−8−6=43
