Answer:

Slope (m) = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following equation:

Slope [tex](m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Let:

[tex](x_1 , y_1) = (-1 , 4)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (5 , 2)[/tex]

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

[tex]m = \frac{2 - 4}{5 - (-1)} = \frac{2 - 4}{5 + 1} = \frac{-2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator:

[tex]\frac{(-\frac{2}{6})}{\frac{2}{2} } = -\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] is your answer.
