A graph shows a line passing through the points (0, 0) and (4, 8). What is the slope of the line?

• 1

• 2

• 4

• For every 3 units the line rises, it runs 4 units.

• For every 4 units the line rises, it runs 3 units.

• For every 1 unit the line rises, it runs 3 units.

• For every 3 units the line rises, it runs 1 unit.

A line on a graph goes down from left to right. What can be said about the slope of this line?

• The slope is positive.

• The slope is negative.

• The slope is zero.

• The slope is undefined.
