the slope is 3/1
Step-by-step explanation:
when trying to find slope (m), we start from the y-intercept (if included in the graph).
the y-intercept here is -2. using the rise/run formula we find that we rise (going up) 3 points to 1 on the y-axis, we then run (going right) 1 point to 1 on the x-axis, resulting in the next point (1 , 1) putting it together we get 3/1.
