The slope is $2$ .

To find the slope given two points, we use the formula $"rise"/"run"$ , or $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

Plug in the given points into the formula:
$(15-5)/(8-3) = 10/5 = 2$

Therefore, the slope is $2$ .

Hope this helps!

$2$

After using slope formula for 2 points,

$(15-5)/(8-3)=10/5=2$
