The slope is 1.

Using the slope formula $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ ,

$m = \frac{- 5 - (- 1)}{0 - 4} = \frac{- 4}{- 4} = 1$ $m=(-5-(-1))/(0-4)=(-4)/-4=1$

Therefore, the slope is 1.

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (0, -5) , (4, -1) (0,−5),(4,−1)(0, -5) , (4, -1) ?
