Answer:

Slope, m = 1/4 = 0.25

Explanation:

Slope,m of a line on a graph is derived from the formula,

Slope, m = change in value of y ( on the vertical axis) divided by change in the value of x ( on the horizontal axis)

change in value of y = final value of y (y2) - initial value of y (y1)

change in value of x = final value of x (x2) - initial value of x (x1)

From the graph, we will pick corresponding points.

Final value of y, y2 = 6

Initial value of y, y2 = 5

Final value of x, x2 = 0

Initial value of x, x2 = -4

Slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

= (6 - 5)/0 - - 4 = 1 / 4

= 0.25
