Answer: Choice C) -3
----------------------------------------
The two points on this line are (0,4) and (1,1)
Let (x1,y1) = (0,4) and (x2,y2) = (1,1)
Pulling those equations apart, we get the four values
x1=0
y1=4
x2=1
y2=1
Plug those four values into the slope formula below
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (1 - 4)/(1 - 0)
m = (-3)/(1)
m = -3
The slope is -3
Note: this means we move 3 units down each time we move 1 unit to the right
slope = rise/run = -3/1 = -3
rise = -3 <<-- negative rise is really a fall or drop down
run = 1
