The formula for determining slope is expressed as
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where
y1 and y2 are the y coordinates of initial and final points on the line
x1 and x2 are the x coordinates of initial and final points on the line
From the graph,
when x1 = - 4, y1 = 0
when x2 = 2, y2 = 4
slope = (4 - 0)/(2 - - 4) = 4/(2 + 4) = 4/6
Simplifying 4/6 to its lowest term
slope = 2/3
