Answer:

slope = -1/2

Explanation:

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (0 , 5)

(x₂ , y₂) = (6 , 2)

Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables:

slope (m) = (2 - 5)/(6 - 0)

Simplify. Combine, then divide:

slope (m) = (-3)/(6)

slope (m) = -(1/2)

m = -1/2
