Answer:

the slope is -1/4 throughout the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line never changes anywhere on the line. otherwise it would not be a line.

the slope is expressed by the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes by a certain number of units.

and in this graphic, when x changes 4 units to the right (positive), y changes 1 unit down (negative).

therefore -1/4

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has the same slope over the whole line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = O (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (- 12, 3)

m = [tex]\frac{3-0}{-12-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{-12}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The slope is - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] throughout the line
