"slope "=-10/3slope =−103

Explanation:

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

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)∙xm=y2−y1x2−x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,0)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(0,10)let (x1,y1)=(3,0) and (x2,y2)=(0,10)

rArrm=(10-0)/(0-3)=10/(-3)=-10/3⇒m=10−00−3=10−3=−103
