Question

use the two points to find the slope of this line.

(m = -\frac{?}{\square})

remember: (\text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}})

Explanation:

Identify the coordinates of the two points

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (0, 1),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (4, 0) $$

Calculate the rise and run

Determine the slope value

$$ m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = -\frac{1}{4} $$
