The slope is $3/5$ ,

The slope of a linear line in the form of $y=mx+b$ , is $m$ , and is found by:

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

Note that $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)$ are the two coordinates.

Here, I'll pick $(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)$ , $(x_2,y_2)=(-3,0)$ .

And so, the slope will be,

$m=(0-3)/(-3-2)$

$=(-3)/(-5)$

$=3/5$
