Answer:here is something to keep in mind.

when there is a downward slope, the slope will ALWAYS have a negative slope. even if it is above the x-axis. negative slopes will tend to go from positive y-axis to negative y-axis

so personally would have to go with -4

because the x-axis is by 4 each time. and this slope is going downward.

your answer will be D

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{4-4}{-6-6}\implies \cfrac{0}{-12}\implies 0 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=0(x-6)\implies y-4=0\implies y=4$
