Answer: The slope is equal to "-3".

Explanation: You can obtain the slope of a linear graph if you know two points on it. In this case, these points are (-2,3) and (0, -3).

If you know these points, you can use the formula below:

Slope = (Difference between y values) / (Difference between x values)

Here => 3 - (-3) / (-2) - (0) = -3, this gives the slope.

In addition, we can conclude that the formula of the graph is (y = -3x - 3), by using a specific point with the known slope value on a linear equation (mx + n).
