"slope "=5/14slope =514

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)=(8,9)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-6,4)let (x1,y1)=(8,9) and (x2,y2)=(−6,4)

rArrm=(4-9)/(-6-8)=(-5)/(-14)=5/14⇒m=4−9−6−8=−5−14=514
