Line pass to points: (-5;0) and (0;-5)So:[tex] \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x&y&1\\-5&0&1\\0&-5&1\end{array}\right|=0\\
\\
25+5y+5x=0\\
\\
5+y+x=0\\ y=-x-5\\
\\
slope=-1 \ \ \(coeficient \ of \ "x")[/tex]

For each unit of progress toward the right ... as 'x' increases ... the line drops one unit.Its slope is -1.
