Answer:

2/-8 = -1/4 or -0.25 in decimal

Explanation:

To find the slope take two distinguishable points on the graph(integer values preferred).

Find the difference in the y values and divide by the corresponding difference in the x values

You can identify 2 points with integer coordinates as

(-5, 3) and (3, 1)

Difference in y values = 3 - 1 = 2

Corresponding difference in x values : -5 - 3 = -8

So slope is 2/-8 = -1/4 or -0.25 in decimal
