Answer:

The answer is


- (5)/(2)

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula


m = (y _(2) -y _(1))/(x _(2) - x _(1))

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

C (1,8) and D (3, 3)

The slope is


m = (3 - 8)/(3 - 1) = ( - 5)/(2)

We have the final answer as


- (5)/(2)

Hope this helps you
