we can calculate the slope with this formula


\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ \end{gathered}

where (x2,y2) is a right point from (x1,y1)

i will choose the points (0,8) and (4,3) from the line

so (x2,y2)=(4,3) and (x1,y1)=(0,8)


\begin{gathered} m=(3-8)/(4-0) \\ m=(-5)/(4) \\ m=-(5)/(4) \end{gathered}

the slope is -5/4
