Answer:

-2

Explanation:

1) Look at the y-intercept. The line crosses the y-axis at (0,7)

Follow it down, it goes down two and over one to directly intersect the grid.

Rise over run = 2/1

2/1 = 2

However, the line is negative, as it's sloping down from the left to the right, making the slope -2
