To find the slope of the line passing through two points, we use the slope formula:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Given the points \((-8, -8)\) and \((2, -8)\):
- \((x_1, y_1) = (-8, -8)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (2, -8)\)

Now substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{-8 - (-8)}{2 - (-8)} = \frac{-8 + 8}{2 + 8} = \frac{0}{10} = 0
\]

The slope of the line is **0**, which means the line is horizontal.

Here are five related questions:
1. What does a slope of 0 indicate about the line's direction?
2. How would the slope change if one of the points had a different y-coordinate?
3. How can you find the equation of the line from these two points?
4. What is the slope of a vertical line?
5. Can the slope formula be used for three-dimensional points?

**Tip:** A slope of 0 always corresponds to a horizontal line, where all points have the same y-value.
