The slope is #3/5#,

The slope of a linear line in the form of #y=mx+b#, is #m#, and is found by:

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Note that #(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)# are the two coordinates.

Here, I'll pick #(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)#, #(x_2,y_2)=(-3,0)#.

And so, the slope will be,

#m=(0-3)/(-3-2)#

#=(-3)/(-5)#

#=3/5#
