The slope is #4/3#.

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line from two points, we use the formula #("change in y")/("change in x")# or #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#.

So let's plug in those two points we have (pay attention to the negative signs!):
#(8-0)/(9-3)#

And now let's simplify:
#8/(6)#

#4/3#

The slope is #4/3#.

Hope this helps!
