let P(-2,0) & Q(0,2)

slope = 2-0/0+2

= 1

the slope is 1 which will be 45°

Answer: slope = 1

Explanation:

The formula for finding slope is given as :

slope =
(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))


x_(1) = -5


x_(2) = 3


y_(1) = -3


y_(2) = 5

substituting the values into the formula , we have :

slope =
(5-(-3))/(3-(-5))

slope =
(5+3)/(3+5)

slope =
(8)/(8) = 1

Therefore : the slope of the line is 1
