slope is just "how much up or down" for one step to the right.

its clearly negative here

only -3 seems to be remotely plausible looking at the graph in your screenshot

Answer:

The slope is
-3

Explanation:

The slope of a line,
m, that passes through points
(x_1, y_1) and
(x_2, y_2) is given by:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

To find the slope of a line, choose two points that it clearly passes through.

In the given graph, the line clearly passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 8).

Let:


(x_1, y_1)\implies (2, 2)\\(x_2, y_2)\implies (0, 8)

Substitute into the slope formula:


m=(8-2)/(0-2)=(6)/(-2)=\boxed{-3}

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3.
