Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify two points on the line.
Two points that are clearly on the line are (4, -2) and (8, 0).
Step 2: Calculate the slope.
The slope of a line is given by the formula:
$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
Using the points (4, -2) and (8, 0), we have:
$m = \frac{0 - (-2)}{8 - 4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$
