What is the slope of the line described by y = 5x + 8?

-8
-5
5
8

The correct answer is: 5

The slope of a line is represented by the coefficient of x in the equation. In this case, the coefficient of x is 5, so the slope is 5. A -8 is incorrect because it is the y-intercept, not the slope. B: -5 is also incorrect because it is the slope of a line parallel to the one described by y = 5x + 8, not the actual slope. D: 8 is the constant term in the equation, not the slope.
