Slope = -10 / 11−1011

Explanation:

The slope of any line passing through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)(x1,y1)and(x2,y2) is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)y2−y1x2−x1
Here x2 = -3, y2 = 5, x1 = 8 and y1 = -5x2=−3,y2=5,x1=8andy1=−5
Substituting, m = (5 - (-5)) / (-3 - 8) = 10 / -11 = - 10 / 11m=5−(−5)−3−8=10−11=−1011
