Answer 2

Answer:

14) $m=2$

15) $m=-1$

16) $m=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the slope of a line, we can use this formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The procedure is:

- Choose two points on line.

- Substitute the coordinates into the formula and evaluate.

Then:

14) Point (0,0) and Point (1,2):

Slope:  $m=\frac{2-0}{1-0}=-2$

15) Point (0,0) and Point (-2,2):

Slope:  $m=\frac{0-2}{0-(-2)}=-1$

16) Since it is an horizontal line, the slope is zero:

$m=0$
