Answer:


m = (10)/(6)

Explanation:

Slope can be found by using the following equation. Note that
m is slope:


m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Let:


(x_1 , y_1) = (-3 , -5)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (3 , 5)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:


m = (5 - (-5))/(3 - (-3))

Note that when two negative signs are directly next to each other, they become a positive. Add across:


m = (5 + 5)/(3 + 3) = (10)/(6)


m = (10)/(6)
