Answer

The slope is -2 movies per CD.

Work Step by Step

Find the slope using 2 known points. If the number of CDs is 0, the number of movies is 20. If the number of movies is 0, the number of CDs is 10. The y-axis is the number of movies and the x-axis is the number of CDs. $slope=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{0-20}{10-0}=\frac{-20}{10}=-2$
