Answer
Option B is correct.
The slope of this function = -4
Explanation
For a linear function, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line or the values of the linear function (y) at different values of x are known. If the two points are described as (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as
[tex]Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Using the two extreme points, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (-4, -2) and (2, -26).
x₁ = -4
y₁ = -2
x₂ = 2
y₂ = -26
[tex]\text{Slope = }\frac{-26-(-2)}{2-(-4)}=\frac{-26+2}{2+4}=\frac{-24}{6}=-4[/tex]
Hope this Helps!!!
