Answer: −3 over 2

Explanation:

Formula to find the slope of a line that passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-


Slope=(d-b)/(c-a)

The given points are : (-3, 2) and (-1,-1)

Then, the slope of the line passing through theses points =
(-1-2)/(-1-(-3))


=(-3)/(-1+3) [∵ (-)(-) = (+)]


=(-3)/(2)

Hence, the slope of the line shown in the graph
=(-3)/(2)

Hence, the correct answer is −3 over 2.
