The slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 0) and (2, -2) is -2/3.

Calculate the slope using the formula:

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two points.

In this case, (x_1, y_1) = (-1, 0) and (x_2, y_2) = (2, -2). Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

m = (-2 - 0) / (2 - (-1)) = -2 / 3

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2/3.

The line in the image appears to be a good visual representation of a line with a slope of -2/3. The line slants downwards from left to right, and it is steeper than a line with a slope of -1/2, for example.
