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.
