Answer:

Slope:  [tex]m = -\frac{1}{5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: [tex]m = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

Points: (-12, -5) (3, -8)

[tex]m = \frac{-8 + 5}{3 + 12}[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{1}{5} [/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf{m=-\frac{1}{5} }}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line through the following points can be found by using the slope formula.

Slope:

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run} [/tex]

y₂=(-8)

y₁=(-5)

x₂=3

x₁=(-12)

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{(-8)-(-5)}{3-(-12)}}=\dfrac{-3}{15}=\dfrac{-3\div3}{15\div3}=\dfrac{-1}{5}=\boxed{\sf{-\dfrac{1}{5} }}[/tex]

As a result, the slope is -1/5, which is our answer.
