Answer
Slope = -(1/6)
Explanation
For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as
[tex]Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]For this question,
(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (2, 0) and (32, -5)
x₁ = 2
y₁ = 0
x₂ = 32
y₂ = -5
[tex]\text{Slope = }\frac{-5-0}{32-2}=\frac{-5}{30}=-\frac{1}{6}[/tex]Hope this Helps!!!
