To find the slope of the line shown in the image, we need to use the slope formula:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Looking at two points on the line:

- One point is at (-3, 0).
- Another point is at (3, -4).

Now, using the formula:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{-4 - 0}{3 - (-3)} = \frac{-4}{3 + 3} = \frac{-4}{6} = -\frac{2}{3}
\]

So, the slope of the line is \( -\frac{2}{3} \).

### Tip:
Remember, the slope tells you how steep the line is and the direction (upward or downward) depending on its sign.

Learn how to calculate the slope of a line given two points using the slope formula. In this example, the points (-3, 0) and (3, -4) are used to find a slope of -2/3. This problem is suitable for students in Grades 8-10 studying Algebra.
