Slope of a line is given by $\"rise%2Frun\"$
\n" ); document.write( "rise is difference between y values and
\n" ); document.write( "run difference between x values
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28rise%2Frun%29=%28%28-5-5%29%2F%28-1-4%29%29=%28-10%29%2F%28-5%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this case slope or gradient
\n" ); document.write( "=2
