Answer:

8/-5

Explanation:

Identify the coordinates (x₁,y₁ )and (x₂,y₂). We will use the formula to calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (3,8) and (-2, 10).

Input the values into the formula. This gives us (10 - 8)/(-2 - 3).

Subtract the values in parentheses to get 2/(-5).

Simplify the fraction to get the slope of -2/5.
