Answer:


(1)/(5) \ or \ 0.2

Explanation:

1) take two of several points (for example, A(-8;0) and B(-3;1)); all the points needed are shown in the attached picture;

2) calculate the difference between y-coordinates and x-coordinates (for example, for A&B points y-difference is 1, x-difference is 5);

3) divide difference between y-coordinates by the difference between x-coordinates (for example, for points A&B it is 1/5=0.2). The result is the required slope.
