Answer:
Slope = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take two points on the line graphed for a function.
Slope of this linear function = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]
Between two points chosen,
Rise = Vertical distance on y-axis (Increase or decrease) from one point to the second
Run = Horizontal distance on x-axis from one point to second
Let the points on the graph are (-8, 0) and (0, 4).
Rise = 4
Run = 8
Therefore, slope of the line = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]
Slope = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
