Answer 1

To find the slope of a line from its graph, you generally calculate it by using the formula:

\[
\text{slope} (m) = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

However, since I can't see the graph you're referring to, I'll provide a brief explanation of how to determine the slope based on the options you've listed.

1. **If the line rises to the right (positive slope)**, the slope is a positive number.
2. **If the line falls to the right (negative slope)**, then the slope is negative.
3. A slope of **0** means the line is horizontal, and an undefined slope means the line is vertical.

From your response choices:
- If you observe that the line rises steeply, options like **4** or **12** might be correct.
- If the line has a gentler slope, **2** or **Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction** could be right.
- A negative slope would be represented by **−12**.

To choose the correct slope, you would measure the rise and run on the graph of the line. Without visual input, I recommend analyzing the graph to identify the correct option based on the line's steepness and direction. You can calculate the change in y and x from two points on the line to find the exact slope.

If you give more details about the line's graph, I can help you more specifically!
