To find the slope of the line shown in the graph, we can use the slope formula:

$\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

We need to pick two clear points on the line to apply this formula. From the graph, the two points that appear to be on the line are:

• Point 1: $(-8, 6)$
• Point 2: $(4, 2)$

Using these points in the formula:

$\text{slope} = \frac{2 - 6}{4 - (-8)} = \frac{-4}{4 + 8} = \frac{-4}{12} = -\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{3}$.

Here are some related questions you might find useful:

1. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
2. How can you determine the y-intercept from this graph?
3. What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of the line?
4. Can you explain the significance of the slope in real-world contexts?
5. How would the graph change if the slope were positive?

Tip: A negative slope means that as $x$ increases, $y$ decreases, and vice versa.
