"slope "=-1/6slope =−16

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)=(8,-4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(2,-3)let (x1,y1)=(8,−4) and (x2,y2)=(2,−3)

rArrm=(-3-(-4))/(2-8)=1/(-6)=-1/6⇒m=−3−(−4)2−8=1−6=−16
