Answer:
[tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]-1/4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Take two points (I'm guessing each square is a unit)
[tex](-4,0)(0,-1)[/tex]
Use the slope formula for when you have two points:
[tex]\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)} =\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]
Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:
[tex]\frac{-1-0}{0-(-4)}[/tex]
Simplify parentheses
[tex]\frac{-1-0}{0+4}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{-1}{4}\\ \\-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Done.
