What is the slope of the line shown below ?

The slope of the line is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, use the formula m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) to get -9/3. Simplify to get -3. Since you have the points on a coordinate plane, you could count the distance between two points, down 3, right 1.

D. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the two points (-1,6) and (2,-3). You can plug these into the equation y subscript 1-y subscript 2/x subscript 1-x subscript 2. You put your 2 y-values on top and x-values on bottom, 6-(-3)/-1-2. Simplifying this you get 9/-3, or -3. So, the slope is -3, or letter D.
