Hi there! The slope of the line is -2/5.

We can determine the slope of a line by dividing the change of y-coordinates by the change of x-coordinates.

In this situation we have a...
change of x-coordinates of (5 - 0) = 5
change of y-coordinates of (0 - 2) = -2

Therefore, the slope of this line is -2/5
