Explanation:
Find the slope using the
#color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and# (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" 2 coordinate points"# The 2 points here are (-5 ,-3) and (1 ,4)
let
# (x_1,y_1)=(-5,-3)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(1,4)#
#rArrm=(4-(-3))/(1-(-5))=7/6#
