Answer:

-1/2

Explanation:

slope = rise/run = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

Look for two points that are easy to read since they fall on grid lines intersections.

For example, pick point (0, 3) as the first point.

Pick point (2, 2) as the second point.

We start at the first point (0, 3) and need to go to point 2 by using only vertical and horizontal moves.

Start at (2, 2). Go down 1 unit. That is a rise or a change in y of -1.

Now go right 2 units. That is a run or a change in x of 2.

slope = rise/run

slope = -1/2

Answer: -1/2
