select 2 points from the triangles that form the line

it can be point A=(-6,-2) and ponint E=(3,1)

use the formula for the slope


\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-1) \\ \end{gathered}

replace the values


\begin{gathered} m=(1-(-2))/(3-(-6)) \\ m=(3)/(9)=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}

the slope for the line shown is 1/3
