Answer :
Find the slope of the pairs of points
Slope equation
- m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
1. (0.-1) and (2,3)
- m = (3 - (-1)) / (2 - 0) = 4/2 = 2
2. (6,-10) and (2,6)
- m = (6 - (-10)) / (2 - 6) = 16/ (- 4) = - 4
3. (3,2) and (3,5)
- m = (5 - 2) / (3 - 3) = 3 / 0 = undefined, the line is vertical
4. (2,3) and(5,3)
- m = (3 - 3) / (5 - 2) = 0 / 3 = 0, the line is horizontal

Question 1
Given points:
- (x₁, y₁) = (0, -1)
- (x₂, y₂) = (2, 3)
Substitute the given points into the slope formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Slope}=\dfrac{3-(-1)}{2-0}=\dfrac{4}{2}=2[/tex]
Question 2
Given points:
- (x₁, y₁) = (6, -10)
- (x₂, y₂) = (2, 6)
Substitute the given points into the slope formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Slope}=\dfrac{6-(-10)}{2-6}=\dfrac{16}{-4}=-4[/tex]
Question 3
Given points:
- (x₁, y₁) = (3 ,2)
- (x₂, y₂) = (3, 5)
Substitute the given points into the slope formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Slope}=\dfrac{5-2}{3-3}=\dfrac{3}{0}=\textsf{und\:\!efined}[/tex]
Question 4
Given points:
- (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)
- (x₂, y₂) = (5, 3)
Substitute the given points into the slope formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Slope}=\dfrac{3-3}{5-2}=\dfrac{0}{3}=0[/tex]
