Slope is 1

Hi student, let me help you out!

..........................................................................................................................

Let's find the slope with the help of this formula:


\star\boxed{\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}}\star, where y2 and y1 are y-coordinates, and x2 and x1 are x-coordinates.

Stick in the values:
\mathrm{\cfrac{1-5}{0-4}}.

Upon simplifying, we get
\mathrm{\cfrac{-4}{-4}}}=\boxed{slope=-1}

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.

Best Regards!
