Answer:

B) -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is change in y divided by change in x.

So, 6-4/-4-0 = 2/-4 so reduces to -1/2

Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A=(-4, 6)

B = (0, 4)

We will use two point slope form

Formula : Slope = [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where slop

[tex]A=(x_1,y_1)=(-4, 6)[/tex]

[tex]B=(x_2,y_2)=(0,4)[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula :

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4-6}{0+4}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

So, Option B is true

Hence the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 6) and (0, 4) is [tex]m = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
