There is one answer, -24.
While yes, absolute value does indicate both a positive and negative will work, for every x value there will be only one y value associated with it; if there were more, then it would not meet the criteria to be a function.

Answer:
s=25
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn’t post the options but that is also equal to 1.0 x 10^-6
If we have two points;
A(x₁,y₁)
B(x₂,y₂)
m=slope
m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
Therefore:
(6,7)
(9,2)
m=(2-7) / (9-6)=-5/3.
Solution₁= the solpe of the line that passes through the poitns (6,7) and (9,2) is m=-5/3.
(17,9)
(5,29)
m=(29-9) / (5-17)=20/-12=-5/3
Solution ₂: the slope of the line that passes through the parir of points (17,9) and (5,29) is m=-5/3
Therefore, both lines have the same slope.
