Answer 1

a. 0

Explanation:

1. To find the slope given two points, use the following formula:

`(y^(2)- y^(1) )/(x^(2)-x^(1) )`

2.
`y^(2)` would be the second y-value (in the second ordered pair), 2, and
`y^(1)` would be the first y-value (in the first ordered pair), also 2.

3. Same for the x-values.
`x^(2)` is -2 and
`x^(1)` is 4

4. Now plug in the values.

`(2-2)/((-2)-4)`

5. This equals
`(0)/(-6)` which simplifies to 0
