Slope is $- 1$ $-1$ ( negative 1)

Explanation:

The slope (gradient) is $\frac{change in y axis}{change in x-axis}$ $("change in y axis")/("change in x-axis")$

Let point 1 $\to P_{1} \to (x_{1}, y_{1}) \to (- 3, 0)$ $->P_1->(x_1,y_1)->(-3,0)$
Let point 2 $\to P_{2} \to (x_{2}, y_{2}) \to (0, - 3)$ $->P_2->(x_2,y_2)->(0,-3)$
Let the slope (gradient) be $m$ $m$

Then: $m \to \frac{(- 3) - 0}{0 - (- 3)} \to \frac{- 3}{+ 3} = - 1$ $" "m->((-3)-0)/(0-(-3)) ->(-3)/(+3) = -1$
