Answer
$\frac{-2}{3}$
Work Step by Step
Find the slope of the line.
1. Graph the line
2. You will see that it a negative slope because it slopes down from left to right
3. slope = $\frac{rise}{run}$
4. Rise 4 from the the point at (4, -1)
5. Run -6 from that point to get to the second point (-2,3).
6. $\frac{rise}{run}$ = $\frac{-4}{6}$, simplify = $\frac{-2}{3}$
(the negative can go either with the top or bottom number or outside, indicating the general fraction is negative).
