Answer:
-1/3

Explanation:
First, you want to subtract the y coordinates, which is 2-4. That equals to -2.
Next, you want to subtract the x coordinates, which is 5- -1, simplified to 5+1. That equals to 6.
After completing those steps, you want to put the x and y coordinates together. That is -2/6.
Lastly, you would want to simplify -2/6, by dividing both of those numbers by 2. That equals to -1/3, which is your final answer.

Hope that helps!
