Find the slope (rate of change) of the line.
A line is graphed on a coordinate plane. The line passes through the points left parenthesis negative 5 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 4 right parenthesis.

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
In this case, we have the points (-5, 2), (0, 3), and (5, 4). Let's calculate the slope using the first two points:
slope = (3 - 2) / (0 - (-5))
= 1 / 5
So, the slope of the line passing through these points is 1/5. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/5.
