Given:

The points are (8, -3) and (-5, 1).

To find the slope of the line:

The slope formula is,


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ =(1-(-3))/(-5-8) \\ =(1+3)/(-13) \\ =-(4)/(13) \\ =-0.30769 \\ \approx-0.31 \end{gathered}

Hence, the slope of the line is -0.31 (rounded to the nearest two decimal places).
