Answer:

The equation y = 1/(x+4) can be rewritten in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by isolating y:

y = 1/(x+4) can be rewritten as y = (1/x)/(1/4) = 4/x

So the equation y = 4/x is in slope-intercept form, where the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4.

Therefore, the slope of the line y = 1/(x+4) is 4, and the correct answer is (A) 4.
