"slope "=9/5slope =95

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)=(-2,-4)let (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(−2,−4)

rArrm=(-4-5)/(-2-3)=(-9)/(-5)=9/5⇒m=−4−5−2−3=−9−5=95
