Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$m=\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}$

Here’s why:  

• The formula for the slope of two given lines given is 'rise over run'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Slope Formula:}}\\\\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\rightarrow (x_1,y_1),(x_2,x_1) - \text{Two Points Given}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• We are given the points (3,5) and (8,7).

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{7-5}{8-3}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m=\frac{2}{5}}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
