-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;

-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.

I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function.  I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ? 
Somebody give me the answer !".

Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:

0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees

You know three points on the line !

(0, 65) ,  (1, 62) ,  and  (2, 59) .

For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept !    ' b ' = 65 .

You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)

So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .

is           <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?
Igoryamba
Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is 
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}

Answer: - \frac{5}{7}
