You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope is the rise over the run or rise/run.
Your question:

Thank You!
Let (1,3) = (a, b)
Let (4,-2) = (c, d)
Slope = d minus b divided by c minus a
We now plug and chug!
Slope = -2 - 3/4 - 1
Slope = -5/3
You did great!
This slope is negative, which means the line of this graph is slanted from the left side falling down to the right side of the coordinate plane.
