To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) and (-5,8), we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1,y1) = (-2,3) and (x2,y2) = (-5,8), so we can substitute these values into the formula:
m = (8 - 3) / (-5 - (-2))
m = 5 / (-5 + 2)
m = 5 / (-3)
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) and (-5,8) is -5/3.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1,y1) = (-2,3) and (x2,y2) = (-5,8), so we can substitute these values into the formula:
m = (8 - 3) / (-5 - (-2))
m = 5 / (-5 + 2)
m = 5 / (-3)
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) and (-5,8) is -5/3.
