We are asked to find the slope of this graph; we are provided with two points:

$\star~\mathrm{(6,0)}$

$\star~\mathrm{(0,-5)}$

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

• What we need in order to find the slope are two points and the slope formula.

Here's the formula:

$\star~\boxed{\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}}$

Where

y2 and y1 are y-coordinates

x2 and x1 are x-coordinates

Substitute the values:

$\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{-5-0}{0-6}}}$

Simplify!

$\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{-5}{-6}}}$

Simplify more!

$\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{5}{6}}$

Hope it helps you out! :D
