Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4.4cm}\underline{Slope Formula}\\\\Slope $(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$\\\\where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ \\are two points on the line.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Define two points on the line:

  • Let (x₁, y₁) = (-2, 0)
  • Let (x₂, y₂) = (0, -2)

Substitute the defined points into the slope formula:

[tex]\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-2-0}{0-(-2)}=\dfrac{-2}{2}=-1[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1.
