Answer:

-2/6

Explanation:

Slope is the m in y = mx + b, while b is y-intercept.

Just by looking at it, you can see that the line has a negative slope becasue it's going downwards and to the right. You can also tell that the slope is in fact -2/6 because it goes downwards⬇ 2 units and to the right ➡ 6 units.

Remember rise/run, where rise is looking at the y-axis or vertical and run is the x-axis or horizontal.

Hope this helps :)
