To find the slope between the points \((0, 4)\) and \((-5, 2)\), you can use the formula for slope \(m\):
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
In this case, the points are \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 4)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-5, 2)\).
Now plug in the values:
\[
m = \frac{2 - 4}{-5 - 0} = \frac{-2}{-5} = \frac{2}{5}
\]
So, the slope between the points \((0, 4)\) and \((-5, 2)\) is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
In this case, the points are \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 4)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-5, 2)\).
Now plug in the values:
\[
m = \frac{2 - 4}{-5 - 0} = \frac{-2}{-5} = \frac{2}{5}
\]
So, the slope between the points \((0, 4)\) and \((-5, 2)\) is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
