To find the slope of a line you must do
(rise)/(run)

Look at the image to find the rise (in pink) and run (in green) on the graph:

In this case the rise is 3 and the run is -4 (the reason the four is negative is because it "runs" to the left, which is the negative direction of the coordinate plane) so the slope of this line is:


(-3)/(4)

Hope this helped!
