I'm stuck on my homework and I don't know what to do they never taught me this so basically I have to find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points and I need the answers

Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) the slope (m) is computed as follows:


m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

1. Replacing with points A(-2, -4), B(2, 4), we get:


m=(4-(-4))/(2-(-2))=(8)/(4)=2

4. Replacing with points G(-3, -1), H(-2, -2), we get:


m=(-2-(-1))/(-2-(-3))=(-1)/(1)=-1

7. Replacing with points O(1, -3), P(2, 5), we get:


m=(5-(-3))/(2-1)=(8)/(1)=8

10. Replacing with points U(1, 3), V(1, 5), we get:


m=(5-3)/(1-1)=(2)/(0)=\text{ undefined slope}

13. Replacing with points A(2, -1), B(-4, -4), we get:


m=(-4-(-1))/(-4-2)=(-3)/(-6)=(1)/(2)
