If y = 4x-2, what is the slope of the line?

-4
0
2
4

The correct answer is: 4

The slope of a line is the ratio of how much the line rises (or falls) compared to how far it extends horizontally. In this case, the equation of the line is in the form of y=mx+b, where m represents the slope of the line. In the given equation, the slope is 4, which means that for every 1 unit increase in the x direction, the y value will increase by 4 units. Option A is incorrect because it represents the negative value of the slope, meaning the line would be decreasing instead of increasing. Option B is incorrect because a slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, which is not the case in the given equation. Option C is incorrect because it represents half of the actual slope of the line. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
