Answer 1

The slope of the line is -1.

Explanation:

To find the slope of any line given two points, we can use the following slope formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We can see that we have the two points: (1,4) and (3,2).

Let's let (1,4) be (x₁, y₁) and let's let (3,2) be (x₂, y₂). So, substitute:

`m=(2-4)/(3-1)`

Subtract:

`m=-2/2`

Divide:

`m=-1`

So, the slope of our line is -1.

Since it's negative, this tells us that is is going downwards.

And we're done!
