Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take two points \((x_1,y_1)=(-1,0)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(0, - 1)\) from the graph.

Step2: Apply slope - formula

The slope formula is \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Substitute \(x_1=-1,y_1 = 0,x_2=0,y_2=-1\) into the formula: \(m=\frac{-1 - 0}{0-(-1)}\).

Step3: Simplify the expression

\(m=\frac{-1}{1}=-1\).

Answer:

\(-1\)
