35/4

Explanation:

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.

Explanation:

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
