Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 8) and (7, 3).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Using the given points (5, 8) and (7, 3), we can substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (3 - 8)/(7 - 5)
= -5/2
Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (5, 8) and (7, 3) is -5/2.
