Answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

First find the y-intercept (point of crossing on the y-axis (the vertical one)), then find the next point that intercepts a box PERFECTLY, this next point is (4, -2)

Looking at the y-intercept's coordinates (0,1), count how many blocks down it takes to get to to 4 (2 blocks which is the RISE) and now count how many blocks to the right it takes to get to -2 (3 blocks)

Therefore it is 2/3 but it is also negative because it is going DOWN from left to right which is a negative decine
