"slope "=8/5slope =85

Explanation:

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

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)xm=y2y1x2x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-2,-3)let (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(2,3)

m=(-3-5)/(-2-3)=(-8)/(-5)=8/5m=3523=85=85
