Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula which is: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (also referred to as "rise over run")

It doesn't matter which coordinate pair is x1 and y1 or x2 and y2.

To plug in the coordinates:

(4-0)/(2-4) = -2

slope = -2

We are given 2 points that the line passes through, so we can find the slope of the line using this formula:

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

In this case, y₂=4, y₁=0, x₂=2, x₁=4

Now, plug in the values:

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{4-0}{2-4}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{4}{-2}[/tex]

Divide:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Answer:{\boxed{\tt{Slope=\:\:-2}}}}}}[/tex]

Hope it helps!

Enjoy your day!
