$m = - \frac{2}{5}$ $m = -2/5$

$slope = m = (Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)$

$m = (5 - 3)/(-1 - 4) = 2/-5 = -2/5$

Slope $m=-2/5$

Given -

$x_1=4$
$y_1=3$
$x_2=-1$
$y_2=5$

Slope $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(5-3)/(-1-4)=-2/5$
Slope $m=-2/5$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (4,3); (-1, 5)(4,3);(−1,5)(4,3); (-1, 5)?
