anonymous · Answer

So it cuts the x axis by -5 and the y axis by -3?

anonymous · Answer

Thus X (-5 , 0 )and Y (0, -3)
Slope of line = $$\frac{ Y2-Y1 }{ X2-X1 }$$
Now substitute the values to find the slope.

$$\frac{ -3-0 }{ 0 -(-5) } =\frac{ -3 }{ 5 }$$

You can see that the value of this slope is negative. If you look at your line, you will also see that it goes "downhill", which tells you that it should have a negative slope.

and that would b ??

anonymous · Answer

Exactly what I typed as my answer: $$-\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand this? This is the way you will always determine the slope of a straight line. Find 2 points on the line and then substitute in the above formula I gave.
