Use the formula: m= y2-y1 / x2-x1

(4-1) / (-6-0) then goes to 4/-6, which turns into 2/-3 you can either keep it at 2/-3 or turn it into a decimal

Explanation:

The slope is often called "rise over run" because it measures the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values:

slope (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

slope = (4-1) / ((-6)-0)

slope = 3/(-6)

slope = -1/2 [divide numerator and denominator by (-3)]

I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU!!!
