The slope is y = -2x if you want it in slope intercept format.
To find this, you need to find the rise and run of the line.

So the rise is -6, since it goes down by 6 to hit a point where the coordinates won't be decimals.

The run is 3, since it "runs" to the right by 3 to hit a point where it can stop at an even point.
Now, just plug the numbers in for slope.

̲-̲6̲ ̲
3

That equals -2.
The slope is -2.
