To find the slope of the line, we need to determine the change in y-coordinates (vertical change) divided by the change in x-coordinates (horizontal change).
The given points are (0, 2) and (1, -1).
The change in y-coordinates is: -1 - 2 = -3
The change in x-coordinates is: 1 - 0 = 1
Therefore, the slope of the line is: -3/1 = -3.

Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the line given its graph.
