Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope formula Faith,  

point P1 (-2a,0)  in the form (x1,y1)

point P2(0,-2b)  in the form (x2,y2)

slope = m

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (-2b - 0 ) / (0-(-2a))

m = -2b  / 2a

m = - b/a

they are trying to confuse  you with the  "a" and "b" variables in the problem, but just use the rules you know to solve what you can :)
