1.2 is the slope of the line graphed in the given diagram

Explanation:

We can use the given points (0, 3) and (-2.5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula is given by


\text { slope, } m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

Given two intercepts:


\left(x_(1), y_(1)\right)=(0,3) \text { and }\left(x_(2), y_(2)\right)=(-2.5,0)

By substituting these in the slope equation, we get


\text { slope, } m=(0-3)/(-2.5-0)=(-3)/(-2.5)=(3)/(2.5)=1.2
