Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf (-1)/(3) }$

Explanation:

We have this formula to find the slope a line:

$\sf Slope ~of ~a~ line = (change~ in ~y-coordinate)/(change~ in ~x-coordinate)$

Find the change in y and x coordinate:

$\sf The ~change~ in~ y-coordinate = 2 - 3 = -1$

$\sf The~ change ~in ~x-coordinate = 3 - 0 = 3$

Calculate the slope of the line (0,3)(3,2):

$\sf Slope ~of ~a~ line = (change~ in ~y-coordinate)/(change~ in ~x-coordinate) =\boxed{\sf (-1)/(3)}$
