Question

what is the slope of the following line?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are two points on the line.

Step2: Select two points

Let's take two points on the line, say $(-4,0)$ and $(0, - 4)$.

Step3: Calculate slope

$m=\frac{-4 - 0}{0-(-4)}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1$.

Answer:

$-1$
