A equals to 2.

Explanation:

y = mx + c is the equation of the line and m is the slope and c is the y- intercept.

In the given equation, y = ax , a is the slope.

Slope A can be found by means of the formula, and using the points (2,4) and (-2-4)

slope, A = (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Plugin the values as,

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

So the value of A is 2.
