Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:


m=\boxed{(2)/(5)}

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

  • The formula for the slope of two given lines given is 'rise over run'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Slope Formula:}}\\\\(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\rightarrow (x_1,y_1),(x_2,x_1) - \text{Two Points Given}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • We are given the points (3,5) and (8,7).

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=(7-5)/(8-3)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m=(2)/(5)}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
