Answer:


m=-(3)/(2)

Explanation:

First, look at the graph and pick out two points that we can use for the slope equation. I see (0,2) and (-2,5) as two possibilities. Now, we just plug them into the slope equation. Remember that the slope equation is


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(the '2' and '1' are subscripts, not exponents)

Let's call our first point (0,2) x1 and y1. (-2,5) can be the second point.

If we plug this into the equation:


m=(5-2)/(-2-0)

Now we just simplify and get


m=(3)/(-2)

Our slope is
-(3)/(2).

I hope this helps!
