Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

The slope formula is:


(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Now let's 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. This means that 3/5 is your final answer.
