Answer: m=14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ . Since we are given 2 points, we can use those points to plug in.

$m=\frac{8-(-20)}{5-3} =\frac{28}{2} =14$

Our slope is m=14.

Answers:
A = 120
b = 45.0
c = 33.2

Side Note: only one triangle is possible
See attached for a visual. I used GeoGebra to draw the triangle.

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

Explanation:

We are given the following information
B = 35
C = 25
a = 68

We need to find the following
A, b, c

where the lower case letters represent the side lengths; the upper case letters are the angles. The angles are opposite their corresponding sides. For instance, side lowercase b is opposite angle uppercase B. The other letters are positioned the same way.

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

First use the idea that for any triangle, the three angles (A,B,C) must add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
Replace B and C with 35 and 25. Solve for angle A
A+35+25 = 180
A+60 = 180
A+60-60 = 180-60
A = 120

Now that we know the three angles A = 120, B = 35, C = 25, we can find the missing sides 'b' and 'c'

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

We will use the law of sines to find side b
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b
sin(120)/68 = sin(35)/b
b*sin(120) = 68*sin(35) <<--- cross multiply
b = 68*sin(35)/sin(120)
b = 45.037013350222 <<--- use a calculator; this value is approximate
b = 45.0 <<--- round to the nearest tenth

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

Do the same for side c
sin(A)/a = sin(C)/c
sin(120)/68 = sin(25)/c
c*sin(120) = 68*sin(25) <<--- cross multiply
c = 68*sin(25)/sin(120)
c = 33.1838323365404 <<--- use a calculator; this value is approximate
c = 33.2 <<--- round to the nearest tenth
