The slope
$m=(3)/(8)$

The points are
$(-3,-1) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(5,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is found using formula

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m=(2-(-1))/(5 -(-3))$

$m=(2+1)/(5 +3)$

$m=(3)/(8)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-3, -1) ; (5,2) (-3, -1) ; (5,2)?
