The slope is -5/4−54 or -1.25−1.25.

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points, we use the formula "rise"/"run"riserun, or (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)y2−y1x2−x1.

Plug in the given points into the formula:
(8-3)/(-2-2) = 5/-4 = -5/48−3−2−2=5−4=−54

Therefore, the slope is -5/4−54 or -1.25−1.25.

Hope this helps!
