Question

what is the slope of this line? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on line

Choose points $(0,0)$ and $(1,-4)$

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
$m = \frac{-4 - 0}{1 - 0}$

Step3: Calculate the slope

$m = \frac{-4}{1} = -4$

Answer:

$-4$
