Change the division symbol into multiplication, and flip over the fraction (a great way to remember doing this is to remember the phrase <em>Copy Dot Flip </em>- Copy the first digit as it is, put a dot for multiplication, and then flip the fraction over)
8 ·
Now, just multiply and reduce/simplify the fraction if needed

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph it appears to intercept the y-axis at (0, 3) which should be the answer
