ben and phoebe are finding the slope of a line. Ben chose two points on the line and used them to find the slope. Phoebe used two different points to find the slope. Did they get the same answer? Explain

Yes, assuming that it is a straight line, the slope is the same everywhere, and therefore it would not matter at all what two points they selected, as long as they did all of their calculations correctly.
