To find the slope use the equation
m = (y(1) - y(2)) / (x(1) - x(2))
So forthe points (1,1) & ( 5, -1)
We have
m = (1 - - 1) / (1 - 5)
m = 2 / -4
m = 1/-2
m = -1/2 or -0.5 is the slope .

Find the slope of the line passing through the points 2 5 and 0 4?
The slope of the line passing through any two points with coordinates x,y and x',y' is (y' - y)/(x' - x). In this instance, the slope is (5 - 4)/(0 - 2) = -1/2 .
