Answer
$$m = -\frac{1}{3}$$
Work Step by Step
To find the slope, we use the formula:
$$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$$
We now plug in points we find on the graph of the line into this equation to find the slope of this line. We will use the points $(-4, -1)$ and $(2, -3)$:
$$m = \frac{-3 - (-1}{2 - (-4)}$$
Simplify:
$$m = \frac{-2}{6}$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$m = -\frac{1}{3}$$
