Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go from the point (5, 8) to the point (10, 5).  We can see immediately that x (the 'run') increases by 5 and y (the 'rise') decreases by 3.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = -3/5.

Both of these lines have the slope -3/5, given that they are parallel lines.
