You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope is change in y/change in x either direction but must be consistent for each variable.
8-(-6)/3-5
=14/-2
=-7

The idea is to subtract the y coordinates, then do the same for the x coordinates (in the same order), finally dividing the two values. You'll follow these steps here
Plug in the two points (x1,y1) = (5, -6) and (x2,y2) = (3,8)
