The slope of the line that passes through (3,5) and (-2, 2) is #(3)/(5)#

Explanation:

Let start by writing the coordinate pair which are (3, 5) and (-2, 2)

The slope formula is:

#(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)#

Now let plug the number into the formula

#(2 - 5)/(-2-3)# = #(-3)/(-5)#

Now if you recall the slope formula rule, a negative divided by a negative is a positive answer. Thus meaning that #(3)/(5)# is your final answer.
