Hey there! :)

Answer:

-1/3.

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula:


m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Use two points from the graph and plug them into the equation. We can use the points (0, 3) and (3, 2):


m = (2 - 3)/(3 - 0)

Simplify:

m = -1/3. This is the slope of the line.
