Answer:

The slope is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the formula to find the slope of a line given two points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂).

The formula is:

m= \frac{y{_2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}  } \\\\

So, we're going to use the points (0,4), (-2,5) in this formula.

[tex]m= \frac{5-4}{-2-0} \\m=\frac{1}{-2} \\m= -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope is -1/2
