Answer: m = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word slope

to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using

the ratio rise/run between any two points that are on that line.

Let's start from the point (0, 0).

From this point, we go down 3 units and to the right 2 units.

So our rise is -3 and our run is 2.

So our slope or rise/run is -3/2.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

So we say that m = -3/2
