Explanation:
To calculate the slope use the
#color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and# (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" 2 points on the line"# The 2 points here are (1 ,-3) and (13 ,0)
let
# (x_1,y_1)=(1,-3)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(13,0)#
#rArrm=(0-(-3))/(13-1)=3/12=1/4#
