Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

When you are given an x-intercept, the y value will always be 0.

When you are given a y-intercept, the x value will always be 0.

With the intercepts we are given, we can make two points we can solve for the slope with.

(5, 0)

(0, -3)

Now, find the slope with the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]

-3-0/0-5

-3/-5

3/5 or 0.6

Best of Luck!
