Answer: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the slope of something, the quick way is to use
(rise)/(run).

In this situation, the “rise” (change in y axis) is -2 because it’s going down and the “run” (change in x axis) is 3. Therefore, it’s -2/3.

The formula to find slope is:


(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

(I think, if I memorized it correctly)

-2/3 from A you go to the right 3 times which is 3 x and you go down 2 which is -2y
