You need to factor the numerator and denominator...
(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)
(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))
((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving
(x+2)/(x-1)
Y= 2x +3
First, you find the slope. ( use slope formula)
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = m (slope)
Then just put the y-axis in, add or subtract (depends on the sign)

The distance bewtween -12 and 19 is 31
and -2 -7 is 5
and then 25 and -1 is 26
