Y=-1.5x+1.5
we can see the y-intercept is at (0, 1.5).
And when the line goes to the right 1 unit, it's at (1, 0), which is going down 1.5 units, meaning the slope is -1.5x. you can check this in desmos graphic calculator and you'll see the points on the line if you want

Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1
If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (4) --> y = -x + 4
Right side: -1 < x < 4
The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (0) --> y = -x
