Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

The slope $m$ of a line passing through two given points can be calculated by using the following formula: $$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line. By plugging in the coordinates of the given points here, we get: $m=\dfrac{8-3}{3-(-2)}\\ m=\dfrac{5}{5}\\ m=1$
