Question
**Identify the line that could have the slope 8.**

**Choose the correct graph below:**

1. **Option A:** 
   - This graph shows a line passing through the origin and making an angle that suggests a slope.
   - Line is approximately vertical, but exact slope needs to be checked.

2. **Option B:**
   - This graph shows a line passing through the origin with a steep positive slope as well, but different than Option A.
   
3. **Option C:**
   - This graph displays a line with a positive slope, visually comparable to lines in options A and B.

4. **Option D:**
   - This graph shows a line passing through the origin that is horizontal. 
   - A horizontal line has a slope of 0, hence it cannot have a slope of 8.

In this context, you should choose the graph with the steepest positive slope as the slope 8 is very steep. The correct answer should illustrate a line with a steep inclination. By comparing the angles visually (as exact calculations are not presented), **options A, B, and C** might need further calculation to confirm the correct slope. **Option D** with a horizontal line is unmistakably incorrect.
