Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (5-8)/(-2-3)

= -3/-5

=3/5

The slope is 3/5

\bf c(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad d(\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-8}{-2-3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-5}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}
