What is the slope of the line in the equation below?

4
-2
2
-4

The correct answer is: 2

The slope of a line represents the rate at which the line changes. In the given equation, the slope is represented by the coefficient of the variable. 4x can be written as 4*x, which means that for every 1 unit increase in x, there will be a 4 unit increase in y. This would result in a steep, positive slope. Similarly, -2x would result in a less steep, negative slope. However, neither of these options match the given slope of 2. -4x, on the other hand, would result in a steeper, negative slope, which also does not match the given slope. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
