to get the slope of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two in the picture below.


(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{8}-\stackrel{y1}{(-4)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}} \implies \cfrac{8 +4}{2 +4} \implies \cfrac{ 12 }{ 6 } \implies 2

Answer:

The slope of this line is 2, which is an integer.

From (-2, 0), go up 2 units, then right 1 unit, to (-1, 2).
