Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write 0,0 and 4,16. as points:  (0, 0) and (4, 16).  As we go from the first to the second point, x increases by 4 and y by 16.  Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is

m = rise/run = 16/4 = 4.

This is the same result as

        16 - 0

m = ------------ = 4

          4 - 0

Answer 2

The slope formula is change in y over change in x
