Answer:


\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ (4)/(3) }}}

Explanation:


\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}


\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: a(2,-1) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: b (5,3) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}


\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line}}


\boxed{ \sf{Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) }}


\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = (3 - ( - 1))/(5 - 2) }}


\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = (3 + 1)/(5 - 2)}}


\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = (4)/(3) }}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
