Question

what is the slope of this line?

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points $(0, 4)$ and $( - 2,0)$.

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 4,x_2=-2,y_2 = 0$. Then $m=\frac{0 - 4}{-2-0}$.

Step3: Simplify the expression

$m=\frac{-4}{-2}=2$.

Answer:

$2$
