It depends on how you want to define them.
Here, I define them as points where the slope is -0.5:
f = @(x) 1-(x./sqrt(1+x.^2)); % Create Function
x = linspace(-10, 10);
h = x(2)-x(1); % Step Interval
dfdx = gradient(f(x),h); % Derivative
[~,infpt] = min(dfdx);
xpoint(1) = interp1(dfdx(1:infpt-1),x(1:infpt-1),-0.5); % Slope = -0.5
xpoint(2) = interp1(dfdx(infpt+1:end),x(infpt+1:end),-0.5); % Slope = -0.5
figure
plot(x, f(x))
hold on
plot(xpoint, f(xpoint), 'pg', 'MarkerSize',10, 'MarkerFaceColor','g')
hold off
grid
axis('equal')
xlim([-2.5 2.5])
To illustrate:

Your data may be different, so experiment with different values for the slope to get the result you want.

Depending on what you want to do with this information (which is not clear from the question) you may find the ischange function useful.
f = @(x) 1-(x./sqrt(1+x.^2)); % Create Function
x = linspace(-10, 10);
y = f(x);
changes = ischange(y, 'linear', 'SamplePoints', x);
plot(x, y, '-', x(changes), y(changes), 'gp')
grid on
axis('equal')
xlim([-2.5 2.5])

my data does not have a function, all of my data in the matrix and manually entered values. I need to derive from here or do I need a different code? i actually don't understand. mybe this picture tells you betterWhatsApp Image 2019-05-16 at 1.21.44 AM.jpeg

@Cem SARIKAYA, Steven Lord's proposal is similar to Star Strider's. In the function ischange(), when the method is set to 'linear', the slope of the line is considered and it searches for abrupt changes in the slope.
Again, take a moment to grasp these concepts conceptually before you worry about implementing the code.
