Answer:

m = -2/3

Explanation:

Use the rise over run method:

Rise: the boxes you would go up or down

Run: the boxes you would go left or right

Equation-

rise/run

Steps-

Look at the shape of the line, we could tell that the line is going down, therefore it is a negative line. So, our slope will be a negative

Look at the boxes, count from boxes from one point to the other.

Count down 2 boxes and count to the right 3 boxes, so our slope is negative 2(rise, down 2 boxes)/3(run, right 3 boxes)

Answer:

-2/3
