First graph the points (-2,5) and (3,0)


Now draw a line through those points




Now start at the point (-2,5) and move 5 units down (to get to the same level as the second point). Since we went 5 units down, this means that the rise is -5.



Now move 5 units to the right to get to the next point. Since we went 5 units to the right, this means that the run is 5.



So the rise is -5 and the run is 5. This makes the slope

So the slope between the two points (-2,5) and (3,0) is
