A kg is 1000 grams, so you would 1000*4.
(1, 1) and (4, -4)
Slope formula is : m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
In this case :
x₁ = 1 ; x₂ = 4 ; y₁ = 1 ; y₂ = -4
Now that you know what variable counts as what, we simply just need to plug everything in.
m = (-4 - 1) / (4 - 1)
Simplify.
m = -5/3
Therefore, your slope is -5/3

The average value over the interval is the area under the curve divided by the width of the interval.
Area = 4*(6 -1) +5(8 -6) = 30
Width = 8 - 1 = 7
Average value = 30/7 = 4 2/7
