To find the slope of the line given its graph, we can use the formula for slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
The coordinates of the two plotted points are (-4, 7) and (4, 8).
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
m = (8 - 7) / (4 - (-4))
m = 1 / 8
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/8.

Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 4 comma 7 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 8 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
