Given:
The graph of a linear equation
Required:
The slope of the line
The slope of the line can be found using the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{where } \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ and } \\ (x_2,y_2)\text{ are two points on the line} \end{gathered}[/tex]
On the line, we can identify the points : (-5,0) and (-6 4)
Using the slope formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{4-0}{-6-(-5)} \\ =\text{ }\frac{4}{-1} \\ =\text{ -4} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
slope = -4
