To find the slope of the function, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
First, we need to find the change in y and change in x between the two given points:
change in y = 0 - 12 = -12
change in x = 4 - (-2) = 6
Now, we can plug these values into the formula:
slope = (-12) / 6 = -2
Therefore, the slope of the linear function is -2.
