Bob says the slope of the line JL is equal to the slope of the line MP. Joe says the slopes are not equal. Who is correct and why?

• Bob is correct because the slopes are along the same line, so they are equal. 

• Bob is correct because both slopes are positive.

• Joe is correct because both slopes are negative. 

• Joe is correct because the slopes are found using different points, they are not equal.
