What are you "solving" ?
are you finding the slope?
if so, then
slope = (x-2 - x)/(x - (x+2))
= -2/-2
= 1
how to solve this question. this is slope: (x,x-2) and (x+2,x)

What is the slope of the line?
The slope of a line is equal to the following fraction:
(number of vertical units it takes to travel from one point to another)/(number of horizontal units it takes to travel from one point to another.
The letter m has been used to represent the slope in math courses.
If a line has points
(a, b) and (c, d), then the slope can be found by using this formula:
m = (d - b)/(c - a)
In your question:
Plug into the formula above the value of a, b c and d and then simplify the fraction.
I'll let you do that part of the question.
