Answer:
The slope is -8
Explanation:
The slope of a line passing through a point:
[tex](x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)[/tex]
is given as:
[tex]M=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
For the given (-3, -8), (-5, 8), we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=\frac{8-(-8)}{-5-(-3)} \\ \\ =\frac{8+8}{-5+3}=\frac{16}{-2}=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
