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: $m = \frac{0 - (-2)}{8 - 4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$
