Answer

The slope is $-\dfrac{3}{5}$.

Work Step by Step

If we have two points, we can find the slope with the following formula: $$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$ Let us substitute the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of the given points into the formula: $$m = \dfrac{-3 - 0}{5 - 0}$$ Let us simplify using subtraction: $$m = \dfrac{-3}{5}= -\dfrac{3}{5}$$ The slope is $-\dfrac{3}{5}$.
