To find the slope of a line from a graph, look for two points on the line and use the slope formula:

\[ \text{slope} (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Without the image, I can't see the specific points. However, you can determine the slope by identifying two distinct points on the line, plugging their coordinates into the formula, and then calculating the result.

If the slope is negative, it means the line goes down as it moves from left to right. Since your options include negative values, if you can identify points that reflect this stoop, that will help confirm your final answer.

Make sure to check your points and their corresponding rise over run—it will lead you to select the correct response from the given choices.
