Answer:
slope = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, I chose two points where the line intersected the graph at an exact point.
Points:
(0, -8)
(4, -7)
Slope is the measure of rise over run, so starting at (0, -8) I went up one and to the right 4 times.
To put this as a fraction, we would have: 1/4
The numerator and denominator are positive because we went up and to the right.
Therefore, the slope is 1/4.
