Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 8 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 4 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.

Find the slope of the line given its graph.

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula:

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

In this case, the change in y is 4 - 0 = 4, and the change in x is 0 - (-8) = 8.

So, the slope of the line is 4/8 = 1/2.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction.
