Answer:

-3/5

Explanation:

Slope is calculated with the formula m=(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2-x_2). The starting point I put as (0,0) and the finish is (5,-3). I used one city block is equal to one. Thus 3 blocks south(y-axis), is -3 and 5 east(x-axis) is 5. So plug into the equation with y_2 as -3 and x_2 as 5 then y_1 and x_1 both as zero. Thus slope=m= -3/5.
