(refer to the step by step part for the explanation) $\\\\$Both the numerator and the denominator have errors. The correct value of the slope is: $\\\\m=\dfrac{-5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

The numerator should be $-10-(-5)$ while the denominator should be $-8-(-11)$. $\\\\$Thus, the correct calculation is: $\\\\m=\dfrac{-10-(-5)}{-8-(-11)} \\\\m=\dfrac{-5}{3}$
