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)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,0)let (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(1,0)
rArrm=(0-5)/(1-3)=(-5)/(-2)=5/2⇒m=0−51−3=−5−2=52
