Answer:

Explanation:

To find the slope you would get two points and then you'd use your slope formula. Which is y2-y1 over x2 - x1. The two points I got are (2, -2) and (-3,2), I got this points from the graph. I plugged them in for the x's and y's in the formula and had 2-(-2) on top and -3-2 at the bottom. When I solved the top one which is 2-(-2) I got positive 4. After I solved -3-2 which is in the denominator I got -5. So then I ended with 4/-5. I divided and got -0.8. meaning that 4/-5 or -0.8 is your slope.

(If wrong, I'm sorry might've gotten the points wrong/confused..)
