m=2/5

Explanation:

m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)
m=(3-1)/(8-3)
m=2/5

The slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 1) and (8, 3) is 2/5.

Explanation:

The formula for the slope of a line when two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are given is m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) where m is the slope.

m = (3-1)/(8-3)
m = 2/5
