Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points $(0,5)$ and $(5,0)$.

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 5,x_2 = 5,y_2 = 0$. Then $m=\frac{0 - 5}{5-0}$.

Step3: Calculate the slope

$m=\frac{-5}{5}=-1$.

Answer:

$-1$
