To find the slope of the line that passes through the points \((-5, -3)\) and \( (1, 3)\), we use the slope formula:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-5, -3)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 3)\). Plugging in these values:
\[
m = \frac{3 - (-3)}{1 - (-5)} = \frac{3 + 3}{1 + 5} = \frac{6}{6} = 1
\]
So, the slope of the line is \(1\).
