$slope = \frac{1}{5}$ $"slope "=1/5$

Explanation:

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

$∙ x m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (- 6, 3) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (4, 5)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-6,3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(4,5)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{5 - 3}{4 - (- 6)} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$ $rArrm=(5-3)/(4-(-6))=2/10=1/5$
