Answer:

Third option) m = -
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

[] Slope is change in y over change in x or rise over run

[] Since we have a graph with easy-to-read points, I will use rise over run

-> I will choose the point (-1, 5)

-> I count down 1 unit to the y-axis of point (2, 4)

-> I count right 3 units to point (2, 4)

-> I get a slope of 1/3

[] Since the line is going from top left to bottom right, it'll be negative

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
