Answer:

-1/2

Explanation:

Slope can by calculated by rise/run between two points. The change in y is 1, and the change in x is 2. However, because the line is descending from left to right, y must be negative. So, rise (y) = -1, and run (x) = 2. Put those together and the slope of the line is -1/2.
