Answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

The equation for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1.

Or you can easily do rise over run.

Lets use the point (0,3.) So, we want to calculate slope, but the only other direct point is (0,2) so lets also use that.

If we start at the point (0,2) and go down 2 units, we just have to go over 3 units to get to (0,3) so thats convienient.

The rise is the -2 units, since you go down 2 units to get to the second point. You also have to run 3 units over to get to the second point.

The run is 3, and the rise is -2.

Rise over run

-2 (rise) over 3 (run)

-2/3

-2/3 is the slope.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

slope = -
(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(0-2)/(3-0) =
(-2)/(3) = -
(2)/(3)
