Answer:

The slope is
-(3)/(4)

Explanation:

To find the slope, you take 2 points and use rise/run. I used (0,1) and (4,-2) because they look like they are being touched by the line. So by looking at the graph, I have to look at how I can get from (0,1) to (4,-2). So from (0,1), I go down 3 units which makes my number -3, over the run which is 4 units to the right, which makes it positive. so I went down 3 and then went right 4, making this 
-(3)/(4). You could also use point-slope which means
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or
(-2-1)/(4-0) which equals the same thing
