(05.02 MC) The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar: A line is shown on a coordinate grid.

The x-axis values are from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2 for each grid line. The y-axis values are from negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1 for each grid line. The line passes through the ordered pairs negative 8, 4, and 0, 0, and 8, negative 4. A shaded right triangle is formed so that its hypotenuse is from ordered pair 0, 0 labeled as O to negative 4, 2 labeled as A, one leg is from 0, 0 to negative 4, 0, and the second leg is from negative 4, 0 to negative 4, 2. Another shaded right triangle is formed with the hypotenuse from negative 4, 2 to negative 6, 3, labeled as B, one leg is from negative 4, 2 to negative 6, 2, and the second leg is between negative 6, 2 to negative 6, 3. Which statement about the slope of the line is true? It is −2 throughout the line. It is fraction negative 1 over 2 throughout the line. The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B. The slope from point O to point A is two times the slope of the line from point A to point B.
