Question

answer attempt 1 out of 2 slope of the line: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

The line passes through \((0, 8)\) (y-intercept) and \((8, 0)\) (x-intercept).

Step2: Use slope formula

Slope \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Let \((x_1,y_1)=(0,8)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(8,0)\). Then \(m=\frac{0 - 8}{8 - 0}=\frac{-8}{8}=-1\).

Answer:

\(-1\)
