\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope of any equation is determined by the slope formula, or m, which = \"%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\", where in this case, \"y%5B2%5D+=+1_y%5B1%5D+=+4_x%5B2%5D+=+7_and_x%5B1%5D+=+r\". Since it's given that m, or the slope = \"3%2F4\", then we'll have:\r
