Find the slope of the line.

When you are finding the slope, you are counting the distance between the x and y coordinates (rise and run). When you think about this question, think about the distance between 2 and 5 and then the distance between 150 and 75.

The slope of a line is given by the formula:

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

Given the points (2,150) and (5,75), the change in y is 75-150 = -75 and the change in x is 5-2 = 3.

Therefore, the slope of the line is:
Slope = (-75)/(3) = -25
