-3

-4

3

4

The slope of a line refers to the change in the y-values divided by the change in the x-values. In this equation, the coefficient of x is 4, which represents the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x. Therefore, the slope is 4.

Option A, -3, is incorrect because it does not correspond to the coefficient of x in the equation.

Option B, -4, is also incorrect because it does not correspond to the coefficient of x in the equation.

Option C, 3, is incorrect because it represents the change in x divided by the change in y, which is the reciprocal of the slope.

The correct option, D, represents the change in y divided by the change in x, which is 4 and is the slope of the line.
