Answer:

3. undefined (vertical line)

4. 1

7. -4

8. 3

11. undefined (vertical line)

12. -1/3

Explanation:

You can use the slope formula to calculate the slope which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

3. (-4 - (-2)) / (6-6) denominator is 0 here so the slope is undefined (vertical line)

4. (7 - 1) / (-2 - (-4)) = 6 / 6 = 1

7. (1 - (-7)) / (2 - 4) = 8 / -2 = -4

8. (-1 - 5) / (0 -2 ) = -6 / -2 = 3

11. (3 - 0) / (-6 - (-6)) = 3 / 0 = undefined (vertical line

12. (2 - 3) / (-5 - (-2) = 1 / -3 = -1/3
