find the slope given of its graph. the graph has two points on it, (4,0) and (-8,0) and the line is running from the middle of the graph to the top right. choose from here:

-1/2
1/2
2
4

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

The given points are (4,0) and (-8,0). Since the y-coordinates of both points are equal, the change in y is 0.

To find the change in x, we subtract the x-coordinate of one point from the x-coordinate of the other:

change in x = 4 - (-8) = 4 + 8 = 12

Now, we can calculate the slope:

slope = (0)/(12) = 0

Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.
