Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ \tt{ ( 7)/(4) }}}`

Explanation:

`\text{Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}`

`\sf{A \:( \: 0 \:, - 5 \: ) \longrightarrow{ \: (x1 \:, y1)}}`

`\sf{B(4 \:, 2) \: \longrightarrow{ \:( x2 \:, y2)}}`

`\underline{ \text{Finding \: the \: slope} }:`

`\boxed{ \sf{Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)}}`

`\sf{➳ \: Slope = (2 - ( - 5))/(4 - 0)}`

`\sf{➳ \: Slope = ( 2 + 5)/(4) }`

`\sf{➳ \: Slope = (7)/(4) }`
