Answer:

Slope = (4/5)

Explanation:

Point 1: (-2, 0); Point 2: (3, 4)

(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)

y₂ - y₁ 4 - 0 4 4

m = ----------- = ------------ = ------------ = ------

x₂ - x₁ 3 - (-2) 3 + 2 5

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 0 = (4/5) (x - (-2)

y - 0 = (4/5) (x + 2)

y - 0 = (4/5)x + (8/5)

y = (4/5)x + (8/5)

I hope this helps!
