Since the slope is falling, instead of rising, it would be negative.

Now, on the line, I plotted (0, 2) and (-2, 10).

You would now plug this into the rise/run formula.
The formula is
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The equation would become,

(10 - 2)/(-2 - 0) =
(8)/(-2) = -4

I believe the answer would be -4.

I hope this helps!
