Answer:

slope = -
(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(-1-0)/(0-(-4)) =
(-1)/(0+4) =
(-1)/(4) = -
(1)/(4)

I’m guessing it wants you to find the gradient. So 1/3?
