Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope of the line, we pick two points on the line.

The points chosen are: (0, 3) and (6, 0)

Next, we calculate the slope using these points.


\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}} \\ =(3-0)/(0-6) \\ =-(3)/(6) \\ =-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

The slope is -1/2
