Final answer:

The coordinates of two points on the line y=8 are (0, 8) and (8, 8), as both points have the y-value required by the equation. These can be found by choosing any x-value and using 8 for the y-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is asking for the coordinates of two points on the line with the equation y = 8. To find points on this line, we simply choose any values for x and use the given y-value, which should always be 8, as per the equation. Therefore, looking at the provided options, we can immediately rule out answers that have y-values other than 8.

Answer choices a and b include at least one point where the y-value is not equal to 8, so they can be disregarded. Choice c has one point with the correct y-value, but the other point does not satisfy the equation y=8. The only choice that fits the equation properly is d. Both points in this option, (0, 8) and (8, 8), have a y-value of 8, which means they lie on the line y=8. As such, they are the two points we are looking for.
