Answer:

C. 2/3

Explanation:

equation for slope: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Pick any two exact points from the line. I will use (0, -3) and (3, -1)

The y's for both points are -3 and -1. The x are 0 and 3. Plug that into the equation

-3 - (-1) / 0 - 3

= -3 +1 / 0 - 3

-2/-3

Negatives cancel so it becomes positive

So the slope is 2/3
