Answer:

slope = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is declining, which means that it will have a negative slope.

Using the slope formula:

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

Take two points from the graph:

Let (x1, y1) = (0, 2)

    (x2, y2) = (2, -4)

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

m = (-4 - 2)/(2 - 0)

m = -6/2

m = -3

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3.

For your reference, attached is an edited screenshot of your given graph where it shows where I got the two points for solving the slope.
