To find the slope of the line, we need to identify two points on the line and then use the slope formula:

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

Looking at the graph, we can clearly see two points where the line crosses the grid:

1. \((-3, 2)\)
2. \((2, -4)\)

Now, applying the formula for the slope:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{-4 - 2}{2 - (-3)} = \frac{-6}{5}
\]

Thus, the slope of the line is \(-\frac{6}{5}\).
