Answer 1

`m=-3`

Explanation:

Given points:

`(5,3),(8,-6)`

1. Find the slope

The slope of a line between two points equals the change in the points' y-coordinates (rise) over the change in their x-coordinates (run).

The coordinates of point 1 are:
`x_1=5,y_1=3`

The coordinates of point 2 are:
`x_2=8,y_2=-6`

To find the slope, plug the points' x and y-coordinates into the formula and combine to simplify:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(-6-3)/(8-5)`

`m=(-9)/(3)`

`m=-3`
