Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 5) and (2, 0) is -1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are any two points on the line. In this case, we have the points (-2, 5) and (2, 0).

The y-coordinate of the first point is 5 and the y-coordinate of the second point is 0. The x-coordinate of the first point is -2 and the x-coordinate of the second point is 2.

Substituting these values into the slope formula, we get:

Slope = (0 - 5) / (2 - -2) = -5 / 4 = -1.25

Answer 2

The slope of this line is: m = 3/4
