hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (3, 0) and (x2, y2) = (0, -5).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(1.66666666666667)x + (-5)

Your graph:

so, the slope is

or, find the slope this way:
