For this case we have an equation of a line of the form:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the equation:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + \frac {1} {4}$

So, we have:

$m = - \frac {1} {2}\\b = \frac {1} {4}$

Answer:

The slope is
$- \frac {1} {2}$
