$s l o p e = m = - (\frac{1}{2})$ $color(chocolate)(slope = m = -(1/2)$

Explanation:

$Knowing two points on the line, slope can be found using the formula,$ $"Knowing two points on the line, slope can be found using the formula, "$

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$Given two points : A (4, 1), B (2, 2)$ $"Given two points : " A (4,1), B (2,2)$

$:. color(chocolate)(Slope = m = (2-1) / (2-4) = -(1/2)$
