Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

You can read the coordinates from the graph and use the slope formula, or you can simply count grid squares between the points.

The point on the right is 1 up and 2 right of the other, so the slope is ...

m = rise/run = 1/2

The slope of the line is 1/2.

_____

If you choose to do more work, you can read the point coordinates as ...

A(-2, -3) and B(0, -2)

The slope formula tells you the slope is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-2 -(-3))/(0 -(-2)) = (-2+3)/(0+2) = 1/2 . . . . slope of the line
