Answer 1

`slope (m) = -(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

We can find the slope (m) by using coordinate pairs of any 2 points located along the slope of the line that we have on the graph.

This, let's use the coordinate pairs at:

x = -4, y = 2 (-4, 2) => (x2, y2)

x = 0, y = -4 (0, -4) => (x1, y1)

`slope (m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

`slope (m) = (2 -(-4))/(-4 - 0)`

`slope (m) = (2 + 4)/(-4 - 0)`

`slope (m) = (6)/(-4)`

`slope (m) = (3)/(-2)`

`slope (m) = -(3)/(2)`
