Answer 1

slope = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the slope formula:

`m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

The points of the graph: (-4, -2) and (4, 4)

`\begin{gathered} x=-4,y_1=-2,x_2=4,y_2\text{ = }4 \\ \text{slope = }(4-(-2))/(4-(-4)) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Multiplication of same sign gives a positive sign} \\ \text{slope = }(4+2)/(4+4) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = 6/8} \\ To\text{ the lowest term:} \\ \text{slope = 3/4} \end{gathered}`
