#m=1/5#

Explanation:

The slope #m# between the two points #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# is given by the change in the #y# values over the change in the #x# values.

Change is often represented by the Greek letter delta, or #Delta#.

Slope's formula is:

#m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Where our two points are #(-3,3)# and #(2,4)#, this gives a slope of:

#m=(4-3)/(2-(-3))=1/5#
