Answer:


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
