To find the slope of the line that passes through points \( A(1, 4) \) and \( B(3, 2) \), you can use the formula for the slope \( m \):
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Here, \( (x_1, y_1) = (1, 4) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (3, 2) \).
Plugging in the values:
\[
m = \frac{2 - 4}{3 - 1} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1
\]
Thus, the slope of the graph is \(-1\).
