Answer: Option A

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
`\textsf{Rate of Change = 1/2 between -4 and 0 on the x-axis}`

Find:
`\textsf{The graph that matches the description}`

Solution: Looking at the information that was given to us, we know that we should be looking at the -4 and 0 markers on the x-axis. We also know that we will have a linear rate of change since were just given the fact that the slope is 1/2. The only graph that has a linear rate of change is option A and we can confirm that it is 1/2 by taking (3 - 1) / (0 - (-4)) = 2/4 = 1/2.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
