Explanation:
"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"calculate the slope m using 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,-6)let (x1,y1)=(−3,−5) and (x2,y2)=(−1,−6)
m=(-6-(-5))/(-1-(-3))=(-1)/2=-1/2m=−6−(−5)−1−(−3)=−12=−12
