Answer:

2

- ------

3

Explanation:

The equation of slope is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You can find it by finding two random points on the line. I'll use (3, -2) and (-3, 2)

Note: The line is going downwards, so the answer should be negative.

So plugging those two points into the equation...

(2-(-2))/(-3-3)

Simplifying this we get (2+2)/(-3-3)

(4)/(-6)

If we divide both sides by 2, we get our final simplified answer of. 2/-3, also known as -2/3
