Answer: Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope formula:

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

plug in values of two points...

I will use (-4, 2) and (0,0)

⇒ [tex]\frac{0-2}{0+4}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{-2}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope is

⇒ [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex], which is negative
