Answer:


- (1)/(3)

Explanation:

① Identify 2 points on the line:

➙ (-3, 0) and (0, -1)

Find points that are easy to identify. The 2 points I have identified passes through each square of the graph nicely.

② Find slope using the gradient formula below:


\boxed{gradient = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) }

Thus, slope of line


= (0 - ( - 1))/( - 3 - 0) \\ = (0 + 1)/( - 3) \\ = (1)/( - 3) \\ = - (1)/(3)
