$Slope of the given line is \frac{2}{3}$ $"Slope of the given line is "color(indigo)(2/3)$

Explanation:

$To find the slope of line passing thru (2.5, 0), (- 3.5, - 4)$ $"To find the slope of line passing thru "(2.5,0), (-3.5, -4)$

$S l o p e m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{- 4 - 0}{- 3.5 - 2.5}$ $Slope " " m = (y_2-y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) = (-4-0) / (-3.5 - 2.5)$

$\Rightarrow (- \frac{4}{- 6}) = \frac{2}{3}$ $=> (-4 / -6) = 2/3$
