#7/5#

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing passing through two points #A(x_1,y_1)# and #B(x_2,y_2)# is given by

#(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Here Let #A(x_1,y_1)# represent #(3,5)# and #B(x_2,y_2)# represent #(8,12)#.

Slope of given points#=(12-5)/(8-3)=7/5#

Hence the slope of line passing through the given points is #7/5#.
