Answer:

The slope of the line is 0.5 or also shown as, 1/2.

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the rise over the run or the steepness to a line in a linear equation. To find the slope of an equation shown on a graph, we can use the formula :


Slope = ((y2-y1))/((x2-x1))

So, from here, all we do is plug in the values by finding two points of the line shown.

(-4, -4) and (4,0) are two points, that are shown on the line.

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the individual parts of the coordinates, so we can plug the values in at the correct places

0--4 =4

4--4 = 8

4/8 = 0.5

The slope of the line is 0.5 or also shown as, 1/2.
