Answer

Slope of the line is undefined.

Work Step by Step

Take first two points from the table. $(x_1,y_1)=(0,-4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(0,0)$. Use slope formula. $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $m=\frac{0-(-4)}{0-0}$ Simplify. $m=\frac{0+4}{0}$ $m=\frac{4}{0}$ Division by zero is undefined. Hence, the slope of the line is undefined.
