You can put this solution on YOUR website! "find the slope if it exists of the line containing the pair of points (5,0) and (0,-6)"
Slope of a line is:
y2 - y1
-------- {the points have coordinates of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
x2 - x1
-6 - 0
------- [substituted coordinates into slope formula}
0 - 5
-6
--- {subtracted on top and bottom}
-5
= 6/5 {simplified}
