Answer:

-1/2

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found by dividing the amount that the amount "rises" over a certain period of "run". With these two points, the line runs from -2 to 4 (a distance of 6) while dropping from 3 to 0. Therefore, the slope of this line is -3/6=-1/2. Hope this helps!
