Answer:
(35-21)/(8-4)

Explanation:

The slope of a line equals to the difference between points' y-coordinates divided by the difference between their x-coordinates.

That is, if
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) are the point of a line,

Then the slope of the line is,


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

By the given diagram,


x_1=4,
y_1=21,
x_2=8 and
y_2=35

Thus, the slope of the given line

=
(35-21)/(8-4)

Fourth option is correct.
