16) y=(8)/(5)x+5 A) -8 -5 B) (8)/(5) C) (5)/(8) D) -(5)/(8)

The question is asking for the slope of the line represented by the equation $y=\frac {8}{5}x+5$. In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, $y=mx+b$, $m$ represents the slope of the line. In this case, the slope is $\frac {8}{5}$, which corresponds to option B. Therefore, the correct answer is B) $\frac {8}{5}$.
