The slope is 1/15115

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line given the points it crosses you can use the formula:

"slope" = m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)slope=m=y2−y1x2−x1

Identify the coordinates:

The y_2y2 coordinate is: -2−2
The y_1y1 coordinate is: -3−3
The x_2x2 coordinate is: 1010
The x_1x1 coordinate is: -5−5

You then apply the formula.

m = (-2 - (-3))/(10 - (-5)) = 1/15m=−2−(−3)10−(−5)=115
