answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

we have two points that perfectly meet the graph. those are (2,0) and (5,-2)

slope is formatted as rise/run, with rise being how many up/down and run being how many left/right to the next perfect point.

you have 3 right (5-2) and -2 down (-2-0).

your slope would be -2/3.

we can verify this by counting 2 down and 3 right, and the graph is negative which helps. (aimed downward on the right side)

we do not need to find b (where the line intersects the y-axis) because it only asked for m)
