Given:

The graph of a line a.

To find:

The slope of the line a.

Solution:

Slope formula:

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

From the given graph it is clear that the line a passes through the points (-1,1) and (0,-2). So, the slope of the line a is:

m=(-2-1)/(0-(-1))

m=(-3)/(1)

m=-3

The slope of the line a is -3. Therefore, the correct option is C.
