Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the coordinate points (-2, 0) and (0, -1.5)

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = 0, x2 = 0 and y2 = -1.5

Slope m = -1.5-0/0-(-2)

Slope m = -1.5/2

Slope m = -15/10 * 1/2

Slope m = -15/20

Slope m = -3/4

Hence the slope of the red line is -3/4
