Answer: -5

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-


\text{Slope}=(d-b)/(c-a)

Then the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) will be :-


\text{Slope}=(8-(-2))/(1-(3))\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=(10)/(-2)-5

Hence, the slope of the line AB contains points A (3, −2) and B (1, 8) = -5
