To find the slope of the line that passes through the points \((0, 8)\) and \((2, 2)\), you can use the slope formula:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Where:
- \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 8)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (2, 2)\)
Substituting the coordinates into the formula:
\[
m = \frac{2 - 8}{2 - 0} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3
\]
Thus, the slope of the line is \(-3\).
None of the provided options match this slope. Please double-check the options or calculations. If considering the options again:
- a. \(-1/3\)
- b. \(8\)
- c. \(3\)
- d. \(-2\)
None of them represent the slope calculated as \(-3\). If the pairs of points are correct as stated, the slope is definitely \(-3\). If you have different options or values, please provide them for further verification.
