The coordinates of points a and b are (2,4) and (-2,-4) respectively. what is the slope of the line that connects the two points

we are given two points as

(2,4) and (-2,-4)

Let's assume

first point as (x1,y1)=(2,4)

so, x1=2 and y1=4

Second  point as (x2,y2)=(-2,-4)

so, x2=-2 and y2=-4

now, we can use slope formula

now, we can plug values

now, we can simplify it

so, slope is 2 ..................Answer

5+2x=a

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
