Video (D) 4 ) Find the slope of the line that passes through $(4,4)$ and $(8,1)$. 1) Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Step 1 ：We are given two points (4,4) and (8,1).

Step 2 ：We can find the slope of the line passing through these two points using the formula: \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \).

Step 3 ：Substituting the given points into the formula, we get: \( m = \frac{1 - 4}{8 - 4} \).

Step 4 ：Simplifying the above expression, we find that the slope is -0.75.

Step 5 ：Converting -0.75 into a fraction, we get \(-\frac{3}{4}\).

Step 6 ：Final Answer: The slope of the line that passes through (4,4) and (8,1) is \(\boxed{-\frac{3}{4}}\).
