The slope of a line is the change in Y divided by the change in X. Sometimes,
people refer to the slope as the rise%2Frun. So to find the slope given
two points, apply the formula %28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29. In this case, you would have:
slope=%28-5-3%29%2F%287-0%29. I will let you do the math from here on in.
Good Luck,
