Answer:

-3

Explanation:

First, let's remind ourselves the definition of a slope.

Slope = rise/run OR the height from one point to another/ the distance from one point to another.

First, let's find two points on this graph that are marked easily.

One point that can be found is (0, -3) and the other is (0, -1).

Let's apply our formula to these points!

<------- Starting from point (0, -3), we are RISING 3 points and RUNNING -1 points.

Rise 3

------- = ----------

Run -1

3/-1 = -3

The slope of the line is -3.
