Answer:

-1/2

Explanation:

let's look at the change from the red point to the blue point

thus, (x₁, y₁) = red point = (-4, 1) and (x₂, y₂) = blue point = (-2, 0)

note that (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be interchanged

slope = change in y / change in x = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (0-1) / (-2-(-4)) = -1/2 as our slope
