You have the following points:

(-15,70)

(5, 10)

In order to find the slope of the line that crosses the previous points, use the following formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.

replace the values of the coordinates of the points in the formula for m:

m = (10 - 70)/(5 - (-15))

m= (-60)/(5 + 15)

m = -60/20

m = -3

Hence, the slope of the line that goes trough the given points is m = -3
