To find the slope (m) of a line passing through 2 points you have to take the difference of the y coordinates and divide them by the difference of the x coordinates.
m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
m = (2 – -3) / (-2 – -8)
m = (2 + 3) / (-2 + 8)
m = 5 / 6 Final answer.

The slope equation is y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
Just plug the two points into the slope equation
In this case, y2=2, y1=-3, ,x2=-2, and x1=-8
2-(-3) divided by -2-(-8)
5/6 is your answer.

Yup. 5/6.
Rise over run.
It rose 5 (the range of the y coordinates) and ran 6 (the range of the x coordinates.

the SLOPE is the “rise over the run” or..
the CHANGE IN Y-VALUES divided
by the CHANGE IN X-VALUES
Slope: m = (change in y)/(change in x)
( y,final – y,initial) / (x,final – x,start)
= ( 2 – (-3) )/(-2 – (-8))
= 5 / 6
