Answer:

m = 0

Explanation:

Let's figure out the change in x (the 'run') and the change in y (the 'rise'). Going from the first point to the second, we see that x increases by 3 and y stays the same. Therefore we know that the line is a horizontal one with zero slope.

formula for slope is y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
substitute
1-1 / 4-1 = 0/3 meaning slope is 0
