Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = 2,4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)
m = =
= - 1 ← negative slope
Repeat
with (x₁, y₁ ) = - 7,8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 0)
m = =
Division by zero is undefined, thus slope is undefined.
Repeat with
(x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 3)
m = =
= 0 ← zero slope
Repeat with
(x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 2)
m = =
=
← positive slope
