Answer: Second option.

Explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with the following formula:


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

You know the point G(1,-5) and the point O(0,0), then, you can identify that:


y_2=-5\\y_1=0\\x_2=1\\x_1=0

Now you need to substitute these values into the formula
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), then the slope of OG is:


m=(-5-0)/(1-0)\\\\m=(-5)/(1)\\\\m=-5

This matches with the second option.
