Answer:

  • Slope = -2

Explanation:

Step-1: Choose any two points on the line.

  • My chosen points: (-3,3) and (0,-3)

Step-2: Use y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ to find the slope.

  • => -3 - 3/0 - (-3)
  • => -6/3

Step-3: Divide.

  • => -2 = Slope

Hence, the slope is -2.

The answer is -2 because the long goes down 2 on the y axis for every +1 on the x axis. This creates the slope fraction -2/1, which simplifies to -2.
