Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-8}-\stackrel{y1}{(-2)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}} \implies \cfrac{-8 +2}{5 +3} \implies \cfrac{ -6 }{ 8 } \implies - \cfrac{ 3 }{ 4 }`
