tag difference

Pls, I need to understand the difference between the <br> and <br /> tags. I don't understand why both of then work for line breaks and horizontal line at same time in different occasions. Pls, what am I getting wrong?

<br /> is self-closing following XML syntax. Modern browsers read <br> and process it as <br /> in the backstage. Therefore the / becomes optional now. Quick glimpse at XML: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/XML_introduction
