#m=4/1#, or simply #4#.

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line with two points #(2,4)# and #(3,8)#, use the formula #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#, where #m# is the slope, and #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# represent the two points.

Let #(2,4)# represent #(x_1,y_1)#, and #(3,8)# represent #(x_2,y_2)#.

Substitute the two points into the equation.

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(8-4)/(3-2)##=#

#m=4/1#, or simply #4#.
