$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~ 2 &,& -1~) % (c,d) &&(~ 0 &,& 4~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{4-(-1)}{0-2}\implies \cfrac{4+1}{0-2}\implies \cfrac{5}{-2}$

I believe following the slope formula the answer should be -5/2
if I’m wrong I’m sorry.
