Slope $m = \frac{5}{8}$ $m=5/8$

Explanation:

Let $P_{2} (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 3, 1)$ $P_2(x_2, y_2)=(-3, 1)$
Let $P_{1} (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (5, 6)$ $P_1(x_1, y_1)=(5, 6)$

The slope $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{1 - 6}{- 3 - 5} = \frac{- 5}{- 8} = \frac{5}{8}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(1-6)/(-3-5)=(-5)/(-8)=5/8$

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
