Answer:


-(3)/(2)

Explanation:

First, find 2 points on the graph where the line intersects.

For this example, let's use (2, -1) and (4, -4). Find the slope using the rise over run equation. See below:


Slope = (rise)/(run) = ((2, -1))/((4, -4)) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = ((-4 + 1))/((4-2)) = -(3)/(2)
