The slope of the line is - 3/4

I got my ordered pairs by finding two points on the lines, an noting down their X and Y values.
Then I used the equation Y2 - Y1 (all over) X2 - X1 by plugging in the ordered pairs.
Finally, I solved and got -3/4!
See the attached picture below



Additionally, you can use rise over run, and count the rise and the run. In the image, the rise is three, and the run is four. The slope is negative, which leaves me to know that the answer is -3/4.





Hope this helps :)
