#"slope" =1#

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)" are 2 points on the line"#

#"the 2 points are "(x_1,y_1)=(-11,4),(x_2,y_2)=(-4,11)#

#rArrm=(11-4)/(-4-(-11))=7/7=1#
