slope = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points: (0,1) and (4,-1)​

Using the slope formula:


m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
\begin{gathered} x_1=0,y_1=1,x_2=4,y_2\text{ = -1} \\ m\text{ = slope =}(-1-1)/(4-0) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{slope =}(-2)/(4) \\ \text{slope = -1/2} \end{gathered}
