The graph of a line passes through the points (-3,1) and (5,8).

What is the slope

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,1) and (5,8), we can use the formula for slope:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's plug in the coordinates of the points:

m = (8 - 1) / (5 - (-3))
m = 7 / 8
m = 0.875

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,1) and (5,8) is 0.875.
