What is the slope of the line?

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, slope is rise/run

Start from a point on the line and count up and over until you reach another point on the line.

For example, start from (0,-2), count up and left until you get to (-2,0). This gets you 2/2, which reduces to 1.

Since the line represents a negative slope, the slope is -1.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
