Answer:

Slope= 3/11

Explanation:

Slope formula=
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Use the points (-8, 2) and (3,5)


(5-2)/(3-(-8)) =
(3)/(3+8) =
(3)/(11)

Slope=
(3)/(11)

Use point-slope to find the equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

*Use the slope (previously found) as m, and (3,5) as your point (x,y)*

y-5=
(3)/(11)(x-3)

y-5=
(3)/(11)x-3
(3)/(11)

+5 +5

y=
(3)/(11)x+2
(3)/(11)
