Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

[tex]m=\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]

Here’s why:  

  • We can use the slope formula to find the slope of the two points given.

[tex]\boxed{\text{Recall that the slope formula is:}}\\\\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)-\text{Points}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{5-1}{-2-3} \\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{4}{-5}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m= -\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]
