The slope is $- 3$ $color(blue)(-3$

The points given are

$(4, 0) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(4,0) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(3, 3) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(3,3) = color(blue)(x_2, y_2$

The slope is found using formula

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m = \frac{3 - 0}{3 - 4}$ $m=(3-0)/(3-4)$

$m = \frac{3}{- 1}$ $m=(3)/(-1)$
