Answer:

2

Explanation:

Select two points that the red line goes through like (0,-10) and (2,-6). If I start at the bottom left of the red line, I can see that I am moving to the right and up. That means that the slope will be positive. As my x is increasing so is my y. Starting at point (0,-10) 2 space, but each space counts as 2, so I really move up 4. Then I check to see how much I moved right. It is only one space, but again, I am counting by 2s, so I really moved 2 units to the right.

The fraction would be 4/2 which just equals 2/1 or 2.
