From the graph;

We can observed two points that the line has passed through, which are;


(0,2),(1,-3)

Then, using these two points, we can get the slope m using the formula;


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{Where x}_1=0,y_1=2,x_2=1,y_2=-3 \end{gathered}

Thus;


\begin{gathered} m=(-3-2)/(1-0) \\ m=-(5)/(1) \\ m=-5 \end{gathered}

Thus, the slope of the graph is -5.

CORRECT OPTION: A
