The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar:Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

The slope from point O to point A is one-fourth times the slope of the line from point A to point B.
The slope from point O to point A is four times the slope of the line from point A to point B.
It is fraction negative 1 over 4 throughout the line.
It is –4 throughout the line.

here is something to keep in mind.
when there is a downward slope, the slope will ALWAYS have a negative slope. even if it is above the x-axis. negative slopes will tend to go from positive y-axis to negative y-axis
so personally would have to go with -4
because the x-axis is by 4 each time. and this slope is going downward.

your answer will be D
