Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the required graph is not attached. The general explanation is as follows:

To calculate the slope of a line, we select two points on the line.

Assume, the points are:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (0,-4)[/tex]

The slope will be:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4-0}{0--1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m = -4[/tex]

For each of the options, the slope is calculated from the following representation

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m \to[/tex] slope i.e. the coefficient of c

By comparison, we have:

[tex]A.\ m =4[/tex]

[tex]B.\ m = 7[/tex]

[tex]C.\ m = -4[/tex]

[tex]D.\ m = -4[/tex]

So: (C) and (D) have the same coefficients as the assumed function
