Answer:

slope = 3

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

From the graph we have the points (-2, 0) and (-1, 3).

Substitute:


m=(3-0)/(-1-(-2))=(3)/(-1+2)=(3)/(1)=3

Slope is
(rise)/(run)

Look at the image below. The rise is labeled in green and the run in pink

In this case the rise is 3 and run is 1

The slope is


(3)/(1)

OR

3

Hope this helped!
