Answer: [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line passing through two points X(a,b) and Y(c,d) is given by :-
[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex]
Given points : C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5)
Then , the slope of a line passing through two points C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5) is given by :-
[tex]m=\dfrac{5-8}{-2-3}=\dfrac{-3}{-5}=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
Hence, the slope of the line that contains the points C(3, 8) and D(-2, 5) is [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
.
