Answer:
Explanation:
Here, we want to find the slope of the line that contains the given points
Mathematically, we can calculate the slope of a line as follows given two points on the line:
[tex]\text{ m = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
The values that have subscript 1 are for the first point while subscript 2 are for the second point
Thus, we have it that:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{0-(-4)}{-4-(-2)}\text{ = }\frac{4}{-2}\text{ = -2}[/tex]
For the second one, we have it that:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{2-(-2)}{2-4}\text{ = }\frac{4}{-2}\text{ = -2}[/tex]
