The slope of the line is #4#.

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we first need to make #y# alone.

To do so, divide both sides by #color(blue)2#:
#(2y)/color(blue)2 = (8x-3)/color(blue)2#

#y = (8x)/2 - 3/2#

#y = 4x - 3/2#

The slope is the coefficient on the #x#, meaning the slope is #4#.

Hope this helps!
