Answer:Slope=5.000/2.000=2.500

Step-by-step explanation: Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -8.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -3.000 - (-8.000) = 5.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

Slope = 5.000/2.000 = 2.500

i hope this helped
