Ans: #-0.6#

Explanation:

Slope #=# the gradient of the line

The gradient of line #= (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2 - x_1)#

I will take #(x_1 , y_1)# as #(4 ,3)# and #(x_2, y_2)# as #(-1 , 6)#.

It doesn't really matter, you can take any way you want because the correct substitution into the formula is the important part.

So...

Gradient #= (6-3)/(-1-4) = -0.6#
