Given:
The points are (8, -3) and (-5, 1).
To find the slope of the line:
The slope formula is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{1-(-3)}{-5-8} \\ =\frac{1+3}{-13} \\ =-\frac{4}{13} \\ =-0.30769 \\ \approx-0.31 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the slope of the line is -0.31 (rounded to the nearest two decimal places).
