Just suppose one of the points as #(x_1,y_1)# and the other as #(x_2,y_2)#
The slope of line passing through #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# is
#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
Where, #m# is your required slope.

I will do the first one and leave the rest for your practice.
#(x_1,y_1)=(3,3)#
#(x_2,y_2)=(-2,1)#
We have,
#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
#m=(1-3)/(-2-3)#
#m=(-2)/-5#
#:. m=2/5#

Hope this helps :)
