To find the slope of the line that passes through the points $$ (-4, 2) $$ and $$ (-5, 0) $$, we can use the formula for the slope $$ m $$ between two points $$ (x_1, y_1) $$ and $$ (x_2, y_2) $$:

$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
$$

Here, we can assign:
- $$ (x_1, y_1) = (-4, 2) $$
- $$ (x_2, y_2) = (-5, 0) $$

Now, we can substitute these values into the slope formula:

1. Calculate $$ y_2 - y_1 $$:
   $$
   y_2 - y_1 = 0 - 2 = -2
   $$

2. Calculate $$ x_2 - x_1 $$:
   $$
   x_2 - x_1 = -5 - (-4) = -5 + 4 = -1
   $$

3. Now, substitute these results into the slope formula:
   $$
   m = \frac{-2}{-1} = 2
   $$

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through the points $$ (-4, 2) $$ and $$ (-5, 0) $$ is $$ \boxed{2} $$.
The slope of the line is 2.
