Answer:


\displaystyle 1(1)/(3)

Explanation:


\displaystyle (-y_1 + y_2)/(-x_1 + x_2) = m \\ \\ (5 + 3)/(-2 + 8) = m \hookrightarrow (8)/(6) = m \\ \\ \boxed{1(1)/(3) = m}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

Answer:


\sf m = (4)/(3)

Explanation:

Given,
\sf (x_1, ~ y_1) = (2, -5) and
\sf (x_2, ~ y_2) = (8, 3)

The slope formula is,
\sf m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)


\sf m = (3 - (-5))/(8 - 2)


\sf m = (8)/(6)


\bf m = (4)/(3)
