my slider model (slider.php)

<?php

views/admin/slides/index.blade.php

<a href="{{ route('admin.slide.create') }}">Add New Slide</a>

@foreach($sliders as $slider)

    <
    <img src="{{url('images')}}/{{$slider->photo}}" alt="{{$slider->title}}" width="250" height="150">

{!! form::open(['method' => 'delete', 'route' => ['admin.slides.destroy', $slider->id] ]) !!}
  
  <button class="btn btn-block btn-danger" type="submit">Delete</button> 
{!! form::close() !!}

<br>

@endforeach
</div>

<BR>

{{FORM::LABEL('PHOTO', 'PHOTO')}}
