Answer 1

To find the slope of the line pointing to the coordinates (4, 2), we can use the formula for the slope \( m \) of a line, which is defined as:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

It appears that the coordinates you provided are incomplete, as we need two points to calculate the slope. Assuming that (4, 2) is the point through which the line passes and you meant to use (0, 0) as the origin for comparison, we will calculate the slope accordingly:

Plugging in the points (0, 0) and (4, 2):

\[
m = \frac{2 - 0}{4 - 0} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

However, if you have another point in mind, please provide that for an accurate calculation. Based on the options you provided, the slope can be identified as:

- \( \frac{1}{2} \) (This is not listed in your options, please check the points).

Based on the selections, and should you mean finding something among the options, the closest answer is:

- \( -\frac{1}{2} \) (This option makes no sense if we're considering points above; it's more likely you only provided one point).

Let me know if you have additional points or clarifications!
