$slope = 3$ $"slope "=3$

Explanation:

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

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

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

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