Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is:


(y_(2)- y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points on the line. We can substitute the points (-10, 0) and (-13, 3) into the formula and simplify:


(3-0)/(-13-(-10)) =(3)/(-13+10) =(3)/(-3) =-1

This means the slope of the line is -1.
