Answer
The graph of the straight line is obtained as follows:
Work Step by Step
Find the slope using the given points \[\left( {{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}} \right)=\left( -10,0 \right)\] and\[\left( {{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}} \right)=\left( 0,-5 \right)\].
The slope of the line using the two points is calculated by the following formula:
\[\begin{align}
& m=\frac{{{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}}}{{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}} \\
& =\frac{0-\left( -5 \right)}{-10-0} \\
& =\frac{5}{-10} \\
& =-0.5
\end{align}\]
The equation of the line is given in the slope-intercept form. From that equation, the slope of the line is \[-0.5\]
Also, the slope of the line is calculated using the two points in the line is\[-0.5\].
