Slope formula:


\boxed{ \purple{ \sf \: m = ( y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) }}

P.S. Slope is denoted by letter m

We have;


  • x_(1), y_(1) = (2,-4)

  • x_(2), y_(2) = (5,2)


\red \implies \green{ \tt \: m = (2 - ( - 4))/(5 - 2) }


\red \implies \green{ \tt \: m = ( \cancel6)/( \cancel3) }


\red \implies \green{ \tt \: m = ( 2)/( 1) = 2}
