Answer:

The slope is -5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line given two points, we use the formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (-1-4)/(4--2)

  =-5/(4+2)

  =-5/6

Answer: the slope of the line between the two points is - 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope, m = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis.

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (- 2, 4) and (4, - 1),

y2 = - 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 4

x1 = - 2

Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(4 - - 2) = - 5/6
