Answer = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope if this line, you need 2 points. We have two given points on the graph : (2,3) and (-2,-2)

Use the equation for the slope:
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We can take x=2 as x2 and y=3 as y2 from (2,3)
We can take x=-2 as x1 and y=-2 as y1 from (-2,-2)
(It doesn’t matter which one you pick as x1 or x2 and y1 or y2, it will yield the same answer)

Substitute

m=[3-(-2)]/[2-(-2)] = (3+2)/(2+2) = 5/4

Hope this helps
