Answer:

-2.5

Explanation:

The slope formula
(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) ) tells us the formula for any slope with 2 given points. We have to plug in the numbers from our 2 ordered pairs to get
(-4 - 1)/(2 - 0), which simplifies to
(-5)/(2) and can be written as -2.5

The slope of this equation is -2.5
