"slope "=1/28slope =128

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)=(11,-10)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-17,-11)let (x1,y1)=(11,−10) and (x2,y2)=(−17,−11)

rArrm=(-11-(-10))/(-17-11)=(-1)/(-28)=1/28⇒m=−11−(−10)−17−11=−1−28=128
