Hello there! A point that would verify the slope to be 2/5 would be (0, 9).

Given the point (-2,4) and the slope 2/5, we can follow the slope formula of rise/run, where 2 is our rise (y) and 5 is our run (x). Moving up two points on the y-axis will give us our rise, 0, because -2 + 2 = 0. Moving to the right 5 units from 4 on the x-axis will give us our run, 9, because 5 + 4 = 9.

Your final answer: One of the points on the graphed line will be (0,9). When progressing two points up and 5 points to the right, we will obtain more points. Hope this helps!
