Answer

The slope of the line is $\frac{5}{2}$.

Work Step by Step

The given points are $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(0,3)$ Slope $\Rightarrow m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{3-(-2)}{0-(-2)}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{3+2}{0+2}$ $\Rightarrow m=\frac{5}{2}$ Hence, the slope of the line is $\frac{5}{2}$.
