What is the slope (rate of change) of the line in the graph show below?
A coordinate grid shows both the x- and y-axes from negative 5 to 5 and a line graphed connecting the labeled points left-parenthesis 0 comma 3 right-parenthesis and left-parenthesis 1 comma 1 right-parenthesis. The rise of the line equals negative 2, and the run of the line equals 1.

The slope (rate of change) of the line in the graph is -2.
The slope (rate of change) of the line can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
In this case, the change in y is -2 (negative 2) and the change in x is 1.
Therefore, the slope of the line is -2.
