Hello! :)

Explanation:

Slope formula: →→→
(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)


(0-8)/(10-5)=(-8)/(5)=-(8)/(5)

Therefore, the slope is
\boxed{-(8)/(5) }, which is our final answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer: slope =
-(8)/(5)


Explanation:

The formula for slope is
(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2).

So, plug in the numbers from the two points into this formula. You should have this:
(8-0)/(5-10) =(8)/(-5) = -(8)/(5).

Now you have your answer, and I hope it helps! :)
