The formula for calculating the slope of a line is

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ Where(x_1,y_1)=(5,3)and_{} \\ (x_2,y_2)\text{ = (7, 0)} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Substituting the values of }(x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2),\text{ we have } \\ m=\frac{0-3}{7-5} \\ m=\frac{-3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line is -3/2 or -1.5
