The slope is #-3/500# or #0.006#.

Explanation:

To find the slope of a graph, we use the formula #"change in y"/"change in x"# or #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#.

We are given two points, so we can plug them into the formula:
#"slope"# #=(13-25)/(2200-200)#

#quadquadquadquad# #=-12/2000#

#quadquadquadquad# #= -3/500# or #0.006#

Hope this helps!
