The slope of the line that passes through the points is -5

<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>

The complete question required that we calculate the slope of the line.

The points are given as:

(0,35) (1, 30), (2, 25), (3, 20), (4, 15), (5, 10), (6, 5)

The slope (m) is calculated using:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Using the given points, we have:

m = (30 - 35)/(1 - 0)

Evaluate

m = -5

Hence, the slope of the line is -5
