#m=2/5#

#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#.

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#
