Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

Choose two points on the line, say (0, 4) and (- 4,0).

Step2: Apply slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Let $(x_1,y_1)=(0,4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(-4,0)$. Then $m=\frac{0 - 4}{-4-0}$.

Step3: Simplify the expression

$m=\frac{-4}{-4}=1$.
