Answer:


\boxed{\sf{(2)/(3) }}}

Explanation:

A slope formula is all you need to use to find the slope.

Slope:


\sf{(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1) }

y2=2

y1=4

x2=0

x1=3

Rewrite the problem.


\sf{(2-4)/(0-3) }

Then, solve it.


\sf{(2-4)/(0-3)=(-2)/(-3)=\boxed{\sf{(2)/(3) }}} }

As a result, the slope is 2/3, which is our answer.

I hope this helps you! Please let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Explanation:

To find the slope, we'll use this formula:


(y2)/(x2) - (y1)/(x1) = m

m will represent our slope.

Use the first point as the second in the formula, as we'll subtract for the correct slope.

Substitute the 2 given points into the formula format:


(4)/(3) - (2)/(0) = m

Subtract:


(2)/(3) = m

The slope is 2/3.
