Find the slope of a line passing through the origin and the point (−3,−2)

I'm getting the answer as 2/3 by taking another coordinate(0,0) and by the formula of
 y1-y2/x1-x2
-2-(0)/-3-(0) = 2/3

so how can the answer be wrong????

The slope is 2/3. But 2/3 is not in the options. But observe that 4/6 is same as 2/3 as you have studied in the first week content. 
So 4/6 will be the correct option. 
Hope it clarifies your doubt.
