The slope is -1.

Explanation:

To find slope, subtract the y-coordinates and subtract the x coordinates. Use this formula: #(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)#

Substituting the given values, the formula to find slope would be #(-1/5 - 7/10) / (3/2 - 3/5)#. The numerator are the y-coordinates, and the denominator are the x-coordinates. Simplifying both numerator and denominator makes it #((-9/10) / (9/10))#, which is equal to - 1.
