Hello Simeon G,
It's our understand that you want to know if there is an alternative to answering calls instead of the slide button.
If the iPhone is locked and you receive a call, you will see the slide to answer option. If the iPhone is unlocked and you receive a call, you will see the answer and decline buttons.
If your iPhone is not responding to gestures, try the steps here: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If those steps don't help, we suggest you contact Apple Support so they they can look into this with you further and provide service options if necessary. They can be reached here: Get Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
