Answer

$m=2$

Work Step by Step

To find the slope, we use the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. We plug in the $x$ and $y$ values from the given coordinates: $m=\frac{0-(-4)}{2-0}$ We simplify above and below the fraction bar with subtraction: $m=\frac{4}{2}$ Then, we divide the fraction: $m=2$
