 tkzDrawPoints[fill=black, size=1mm](P_1,P_2,M)

I'm getting:

I wanted to add a fade like this:

but I can't have the fade to be in the right angle.

How can I get this kind of fade, fadding to white?

You may rotate the shading area to the x-axis, shade, then rotate back with 'transform canvas'

documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]standalone
usepackagetkz-euclide
usetkzobjall
begindocument
begintikzpicture
coordinate[label=above right:$P_1$] (P1) at (.5,2);
coordinate[label=above right:$P_2$] (P2) at (2.5,0);
coordinate[label=right:$M$] (M) at (1.5,1);
coordinate (A) at (2,1.5);
pgfmathsetmacroa.5-sqrt(2)
pgfmathsetmacrob.5+sqrt(12.5)

shade[top color=white,bottom color=red!50,
transform canvas=rotate around=45:(.5,0)] 
(a,0) rectangle (b,.5);
draw[-latex] (-1,0)--(3.5,0) node[below]rmRe$(x)$;
draw[-latex] (0,-1)--(0,3.5) node[left]rmIm$(x)$;

draw (P1) -- (P2);
draw[red,thick] plot[domain=-.5:3] (x,x-.5);
foreach p in P1,P2,M
fill (p) circle(1pt);
node at (1.5,3)(;
tkzMarkRightAngle(P1,M,A)
endtikzpicture
enddocument

This is in principle very simple but tkz-euclide seems to mess up things a bit. One can just use a shading angle, which can, of course, be computed by TikZ.
