Describe this line:
y = 2x - 5   It starts at -5 on the y- axis then..

• goes up 2 to the right 1

• goes down 2 to the right 1

• goes up 2 and to the right 5 

Describe this line:
y = -3x + 2 start at 2 on the y - axis

• go up 3 to the right 1

• go down 3 to the right 2

• go down 3 to the right 1

What is the formula to calculate the slope of a line?

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• x2 - x1 / y2 - y1

• y2 - y1 * x2 - x1

• 2y - 2x / 2
