$slope = - \frac{3}{4}$ $"slope "=-3/4$

Explanation:

$calculate the slope m using the gradient formula$ $"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"$

$∙ x m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (4, - 1) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (0, 2)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(4,-1)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(0,2)$

$m = \frac{2 - (- 1)}{0 - 4} = \frac{3}{- 4} = - \frac{3}{4}$ $m=(2-(-1))/(0-4)=3/(-4)=-3/4$
