Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Find points from graph
Point (-4, 0)
Point (0, 2)
Step 2: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{2- 0}{0- -4}[/tex]
- [Fraction] Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]
- [Fraction] Simplify: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
