Which statement is true about the slope of the graphed line?

To determine the slope of the line described, we note that the line extends from the second quadrant to the first quadrant and has a y-intercept at 4.

- In the second quadrant, where x is negative and y is positive, the line starts above the x-axis (since the y-intercept is 4) and moves downwards toward the first quadrant (where x is positive and y is also positive).
- As the line moves from the second quadrant (where y decreases) to the first quadrant (where y is still decreasing as x increases), it indicates that the line is sloping downwards.

Therefore, the slope of the line is negative.

The correct answer is:
A. The slope is negative.
