gradient is $\frac{8}{5}$ $8/5$

Explanation:

Difference in $y$ $y$ values divided by the difference in $x$ $x$ values

$\frac{5 - - 3}{3 - - 2} = \frac{8}{5}$ $[5- -3]/[3- -2]=8/5$

$slope = \frac{8}{5}$ $"slope "=8/5$

Explanation:

$to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula$ $"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"$

$∙ x m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$let (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (3, 5) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 2, - 3)$ $"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-2,-3)$

$m = \frac{- 3 - 5}{- 2 - 3} = \frac{- 8}{- 5} = \frac{8}{5}$ $m=(-3-5)/(-2-3)=(-8)/(-5)=8/5$
