1/5
(4-3)/(5-0) = 1/5 = 0.2
Slope = (vertical difference) / (horizontal difference)

Slope of a line is given by tan theta which is the perpendicular divided by the base.First Plot the line along X and Y axes.Then find the lenghth of the perpendicular which is 1.Then find the lenghth ofit's base which is 5.So Tan theta which is alsothe slope is 1/5.

assuming your coordinates are in (X,Y) format :-
slope = (4-3)/(5-0) = 1/5

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
A(5,4) = (x1,y1)
B(0,3) = (x2,y2)
slope of line = (3 - 4) / (0 - 5) = -1/-5 = 1/5
