To know the value of the slope, first lets look at the equation of line as follows:

Equation of the line is

y=mx + b

According to the given data the equation we have is the following:

y=4/5x-3

The number which is multiplying the x is always the slope, therefore the of the line represented by the equation y=4/5x-3 would be 4/5.

Remember that the slope of a generic equation would be the m.

So, in this case the m would be 4/5
