Slope of a Line given points (5.3, 0) and (-2.7, -3)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 5.3  y₁ = 0,  x₂ = -2.7  y₂ = -3
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (5.3, 0) and (-2.7, -3) is equal to  

3/8

Note: As a decimal number,    = 0.375
