Explanation:
The formula for slope is:
#m=(y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1")#
where:
m = slope
#m=(y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1")#
#m=((8)-(8))/((2)-(0))#
#m=0/2#
#m=0#
Since the slope is 0, this means that the y values do not increase, but remain constant. Instead, only the x values decrease and increase.
Here is a graph of of the linear equation:
