Answer: -2/3

Explanation:

1. Find where the line intersects on the Y axis.

2. Use rise/run to find where the next point that the line intersects. (Essentially count right 3 from (0,5) and count down 2 from (3,5))

3. The slope is going downwards from left to right so that the slope will be negative.

4. Divide the rise, 2, by the run, 3, and then apply your negative sign and you have your answer of -2/3.
