The slope
$m = 3$ $m=color(blue)(3$

$(- 4, 5) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(-4,5)=color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(- 3, 8) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(-3,8)=color(blue)(x_2 , y_2$

The slope $m$ $m$ is given by formula:

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

$m = \frac{8 - 5}{- 3 - (- 4)}$ $m=(8-5)/(-3-(-4))$

$m = \frac{8 - 5}{- 3 + 4}$ $m=(8-5)/(-3+4)$

$m = \frac{3}{1}$ $m=(3)/(1)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-4, 5) , (-3, 8) (−4,5),(−3,8)(-4, 5) , (-3, 8) ?
