Answer: 2

See the diagram below.

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on this diagonal line. I'll go for (0,-3) and (1,-1)

Apply the slope formula to those coordinates.


(x_1,y_1) = (0,-3) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (1,-1)\\\\m = \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}\\\\m = \frac{\text{y}_(2) - \text{y}_(1)}{\text{x}_(2) - \text{x}_(1)}\\\\m = (-1 - (-3))/(1 - 0)\\\\m = (-1 + 3)/(1 - 0)\\\\m = (2)/(1)\\\\m = 2\\\\

A slope of 2, aka 2/1, means "move up 2, then right 1".

This "up 2, right 1" motion allows us to move from (0,-3) to (1,-1) as shown in the diagram below.
