Answer:
slope = [tex]\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } [/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{0-(-2)}{4-0} [/tex] = [tex]\frac{0+2}{4} [/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4} [/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
