Answer:

p = 11/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the slope, so use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  5/3  = ( -3 -p)/ ( p-4)

Using cross products

5(p-4) = 3(-3-p)

5p-20 = -9-3p

Add 3p to each side

5p+3p -20 = -9-3p+3p

8p-20 = -9

Add 20 to each side

8p-20+20 =-9+20

8p =11

Divide by 8

8p/8 = 11/8

p = 11/8
