Answer:

Explanation:

to find the slope, we can take any two points, and find the slope between then

e.g.

(0, -3) and (20, 2) =>
m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (2-(-3))/(20-0) = (1)/(4)

now we can test other points, and if the slopes are consistent, we can determine the overall slope

(4, -2) and (16, 1) =>
m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (1-(-2))/(16-4) = (1)/(4)

(8, -1) and (12, 0) =>
m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (0-(-1))/(12-8) = (1)/(4)

yep, it's consistent

the slope is
(1)/(4)
