The slope: $m = 5$ $color(blue)(m=5$

$(3, 10) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(3,10) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(2, 5) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(2,5) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=color(blue)((y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

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

$= \frac{- 5}{- 1}$ $=(-5)/(-1)$

The slope: $m = 5$ $color(blue)(m=5$
