How do I add a delete route with nested resources rails 4 - ruby-on-rails

Question

Todo has many Items. I am trying to add a link to delete an item from the todo list. I have tried variations to find an item by id under the todo list and I can't figure it out. This is the most recent error based of the the changes I made. I don't know how to fix this.
Error message: No route matches [DELETE] "/todos/6/items"

Please try using <%= link_to "delete", [todo, item], :method => :delete %>.
