Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

calculate slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

consider the middle dotted line

with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 8) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(8-(-3))/(6-(-5)) =
(8+3)/(6+5) =
(11)/(11) = 1

consider the line of reflection ( the solid line )

with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(4-3)/(-1-0) =
(1)/(-1) = - 1
