									You might have seen the form , where  is the gradient,  is the y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis).
If we knew , then we could substitute the values we have  and  rearrange the equation to find .
How do you think we could find the gradient between those 2 points?

									you can write the equation of the line in two point form, assume the given points as (x1, y1) & (x2, y2), then write the equation of line as:

									(y-y1) = m (x-x1) ; where m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) ... to explain further i can tell you that assume       (x1, y1) = (-2,2) & (x2, y2) = (2,2)
