Answer:

n = 2

Explanation:

Given nx + y = 4, if we rearrange in slope-intercept form: y = -nx + 4

This means that the y-intercept is 4. Point "A" is the y-intercept, which would make OA = 4, and OB = 1/2(4) = 2.

We can now solve for n. The slope here is "-n", also represented by rise/run or OA/-OB = 4/-2 = -2.

-n = -2,

n = 2
