Answer

-1/3

Work Step by Step

Slope equals rise over run. In order to find slope, we consider the rise and the run between the two points on the graph. Between the two points, we go two down, so the rise is -2. Additionally, we go left 6 units, so the run is 6. Thus, we get an answer of -2/6, which equals -1/3.
