Let's denote the first point (-8,-3) as . In other words, and

Now let's denote the second point (-2,2) as . In other words, and

-------------------------

Start with the slope formula

Plug in ,,,

Subtract the terms in the numerator to get . Subtract the terms in the denominator to get

---------------------
Answer:

So the slope of the line through the points (-8,-3) and (-2,2) is
