Answer: slope = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding slope is given as :
slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = -5
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 3
[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = -3
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = 5
substituting the values into the formula , we have :
slope = [tex]\frac{5-(-3)}{3-(-5)}[/tex]
slope = [tex]\frac{5+3}{3+5}[/tex]
slope = [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex] = 1
Therefore : the slope of the line is 1
