m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (0 - 4) / (5 - 0) = -(4/5)

Do this by the change in y's which are 4-0 and change in x's 0-5.
y1-y2/x1/x2=slope
4-0/0-5 = 4/-5

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so you have (0-4)/(5-0)
the slope is (-4/5)
-0.8
This is important all the way through highschool and into university if you take any sciences, so try to understand it, not just take the answer.

To determine slope, there is a formula.
Y2-Y1
over
X2-X1
Which, if its easier, is also known as Rise over run, where on a graph from one point to another, how many points you go up divided by how many points you went over, is your slope.
