b.
2
d.
1



Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

the answer is a

-1

Explanation:

slope formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

work :
`(-4-(-2))/(2-0)`

`(-2)/(2)` or -1

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1

Therefore when applied to this, the formula is -4-(-2) over 2-0

This would be -2 over 2 or -1 over 1 which is equal to -1
