The slope of the line is $4$ $4$ .

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

To do so, divide both sides by $2$ $color(blue)2$ :
$\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{8 x - 3}{2}$ $(2y)/color(blue)2 = (8x-3)/color(blue)2$

$y = \frac{8 x}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$ $y = (8x)/2 - 3/2$

$y = 4 x - \frac{3}{2}$ $y = 4x - 3/2$

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

Hope this helps!
