To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula
\[m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}\]
where (x1, y1) = (-3, 2) and (x2, y2) = (5, 8).
Plugging in the values we have
\[m = \frac{8 - 2}{5 - (-3)}\]
\[m = \frac{6}{8}\]
\[m = \frac{3}{4}\]
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-3,2) and (5,8) is 3/4.
\[m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}\]
