• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point A(-2, -4)

Point B(2, 4)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                            $\displaystyle m=\frac{4+4}{2+2}$
2. [Fraction] Add:                                                                                                $\displaystyle m=\frac{8}{4}$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                            $\displaystyle m=2$
