First of all you need the formula of the slope which is
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)y2−y1x2−x1
Then use these values and place them in their designated places
y_2= -6y2=−6
y_1=3y1=3
x_2=-3x2=−3
x_1=-1x1=−1
so: (-6-3)/(-3-(-1))−6−3−3−(−1)

(-9)/(-3+1)−9−3+1 Remember (-)*(-)(−)⋅(−) is (+)(+)

(-9)/(-2)−9−2

so gradient is 4.54.5
remember to cancel out the -− sign
