Slope:
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

1) (-2, 2), (2, -2)
Plug these points in.

(-2 - 2)/(2 - (-2))

(-4)/(4) = -1
The slope is -1.

2) (1, 2), (-1, -2)
Plug these points in.

(-2 - 2)/(-1 - 1)

(-4)/(-2) = 2
The slope is 2.

3) (-2, 2), (4, 0)
Plug these points in.

(0 - 2)/(4 - (-2))

(-2)/(6) = -
(1)/(3)
The slope is -1/3.
