document.write( "Question 258516: this is really about slope i couldnt find an option for it,,,but i really dont understand the whole slope thing...i did the x1 - y1 but i still cant get the right answer...if the equation is (6,6) and (2,2) \n" ); document.write( "

Slope is the steepness of a line.
\n" ); document.write( "It is expressed as rise / run.
\n" ); document.write( "The rising axis is the Y axis and the running axis is the x-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for slope is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From above we have two coordinates. All coordinates are in (x,y) from
\n" ); document.write( "Our first coordinate is (X1,Y1) = (6,6)
\n" ); document.write( "Our second coordinate is (X2,Y2) = (2,2)
\n" ); document.write( "From these we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%282-6%29%2F%282-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+-4%2F-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
