The slope is $2$ $2$ .

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points, we use the formula $\frac{rise}{run}$ $"rise"/"run"$ , or $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

Plug in the given points into the formula:
$\frac{15 - 5}{8 - 3} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$ $(15-5)/(8-3) = 10/5 = 2$

Therefore, the slope is $2$ $2$ .

Hope this helps!

$2$ $2$

Explanation:

After using slope formula for 2 points,

$\frac{15 - 5}{8 - 3} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$ $(15-5)/(8-3)=10/5=2$
