#35/4#

slope is always "rise over run".
#(Delta Y)/(Delta X)# = #(65-30)/(8-4)# = #35/4#

The slope of the line passing through #(4, 30)# and #(8, 65)# is #35/4#.

The formula for the slope of a line when two points #(x_1, y_1)# and #(x_2, y_2)# are given is #m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# where #m# is the slope.

Using this formula:
#m = (65-30)/(8-4)#
#m = 35/4#
